Description: Nikola Tesla - Wardenclyffe Tower (1901–1917), was an early experimental wireless transmission station designed and built by scientist Nikola Tesla on Long Island, New York, in 1901. Tesla intended to transmit messages, telephony, and even images across the Atlantic Ocean to England based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals. His decision to increase the scale of the facility and implement his ideas of wireless power transfer to better compete with Guglielmo Marconi's radio-based telegraph system was met with refusal to fund the changes by the project's primary backer, financier J. P. Morgan. Additional investment could not be found, and the project was abandoned in 1906, never to become operational.
