Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower transmitter on Long Island

DescriptionWardenclyffe Tower full view.jpg	English: Wardenclyffe Tower wireless power station built by Serbian American inventor Nikola Tesla in Shoreham, New York 1901-1904. This was intended to be both a transatlantic wireless telegraphy (radio) station, and to transmit power without wires. This view shows the tower itself which stood behind a powerhouse. Essentially a huge Tesla coil, it consisted of a 187 foot wooden tower topped by a hemispherical 68 ft. copper capacitive electrode. By 1904 Tesla's investors had pulled out and the facility was never finished. It was torn down in 1916 Caption: "TESLA CENTRAL POWER PLANT AND TRANSMITTING TOWER FOR WORLD TELEGRAPHY, AT WARDENCLYFFE, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (The tower is a pyramid having eight sides; smallest dimension across base 96 feet; height, 154 feed; total height from ground to top 187 feet; cupola on top, 65 feet in diameter)"
