In laboratory work and later large-scale experiments at Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla developed his own ideas on how a worldwide wireless system would work. Like most other scientists from that period, Tesla believed that if they did exist, the basic physics of such waves showed that they would only travel in straight lines the way visible light did, meaning they would travel straight out into space and be "hopelessly lost". Tesla discarded the idea of using the newly discovered Hertzian (radio) waves, detected in 1888 by German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. His primary goal in these experiments was to develop a new wireless power transmission system. Tesla's design for Wardenclyffe grew out of his experiments beginning in the early 1890s. Patent 1,119,732 covered the basic function of the device used at Wardenclyffe. Design and operational principles Tesla's Magnifying "Apparatus for transmitting electrical energy" U.S. In 2018 the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A grassroots campaign to save the site succeeded in purchasing the property in 2013, with plans to build a future museum dedicated to Nikola Tesla. In the 1980s and 2000s, hazardous waste from the photographic era was cleaned up, and the site was sold and cleared for new development. Many buildings were added to the site and the land it occupies has been trimmed down from 200 acres (81 ha) to 16 acres (6.5 ha) but the original, 94 by 94 ft (29 by 29 m), brick building designed by Stanford White remains standing to this day. For 50 years, Wardenclyffe was a processing facility producing photography supplies. In an attempt to satisfy Tesla's debts, the tower was demolished for scrap in 1917 and the property taken in foreclosure in 1922. Additional investment could not be found, and the project was abandoned in 1906, never to become operational. His decision to increase the scale of the facility and implement his ideas of wireless power transmission 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. Tesla intended to transmit messages, telephony, and even facsimile images across the Atlantic Ocean to England and to ships at sea based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals. Wardenclyffe Tower (1901–1917), also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early experimental wireless transmission station designed and built by Nikola Tesla on Long Island in 1901–1902, located in the village of Shoreham, New York.
