Wardenclyffe Tower and Laboratory
Wardenclyffe was Tesla's most grandiose plan! He built a power plant on Long Island, New York (now Shoreham) in 1902 with the intention of sending power wirelessly around the globe.
Tesla’s predictions of potential uses include:
- Interconnection of all existing telegraph stations;
- Introduction of the country’s telegraph service without the possibility of interference;
- Interconnection of all existing telephone stations;
- Global distribution of common interest news via telegraphy or telephone;
- Introduction of the world system for the transmission of private messages;
- Interconnection and operation of all devices for the transmission of stock market information;
- Introduction of the world system for the transmission of music;
- Registering of universal time using cheap clocks that show astronomical time and do not require servicing;
- Transmission of printed facsimiles or handwritten letters, checks, etc.;
- Introduction of universal maritime service, which would enable sailors to navigate without a compass, to accurately determine the ship location, time and speed, to prevent collisions, accidents, etc.;
- Introduction of the world press system, on sea and ground;
- Reproduction of photos, drawings, and documents on any location in the world.
