N.Y. Looking like a huge lattice-like, wooden oil derrick with a mushroom cap, it had a total height of 200 feet. Then suddenly, Morgan withdrew his support to the project in 1906, and eventually the structure was dynamited and brought down in 1917. The high-frequency output of even a small Tesla coil can light up fluorescent tubes held several feet away without any wire connections. Fluorescent tubes can be held under high-tension wires to produce the same lighting up effect. Any electrical engineer with the proper materials can do the same thing.
Incandescent bulbs burn high resistance filaments that gobble up energy.
Any number of cold light bulbs can be lit using only one Tesla coil, and since there is nothing inside them to burn out, they can last indefinitely. When Tesla was determining the resonant frequencies of the earth to potentially transmit unlimited electric power, he also recognized frequencies that acted as a damping field to nullify electric power. With the advent of the wireless and Tesla's unique investigations into broadcasting electricity, a dozen or more inventors thereafter announced their own means for transmitting electrical energy without wires. When his beam was directed toward the magneto system of a gasoline engine, it stopped the system. These waves could affect electrical devices, overload circuits and cause machines like generators, electric motors and automobiles to stall.
