The experiments, conducted in Colorado, led to one of Tesla’s most audacious proposals: To power the world without wires. He made headlines with plans for a “world wireless system,” and won funding from JP Morgan to build the first of several huge transmission towers.  Continue reading “New Zealand Is About to Test Long-Range Wireless Power Transmission”
