Nikola Tesla, Our Father of AC Current The Wardenclyffe Tower
located in Shoreham, Long Island, New York. One of the most
important inventions of Nikola Tesla was was the electrical
transmitter. Shortly after leaving his Colorado research
facility and returning to New York, Tesla began construction of
an gigantic version of this invention, to be known as The
Wardenclyffe Tower. Constructed between 1900-1905, the tower
stood 187 ft into the air, with a 68 ft metal dome The purpose
of the tower was to transmit wireless messages across the
Atlantic and, as he had told his financier J.P. Morgan, provide
free energy to the entire globe. Tesla believed this to be a
simple procedure, and later confirmed through experimentation,
that the Earth conducts electricity naturally, much like a metal
ball. Tesla hypothesized that Earth could be charged from a
single location and energy could be safely extracted from any
other point on the globe's surface. The Earth could be pumped
with electricity and anyone on its surface c
