Colorado Springs: 1899-1900
Tesla received a request from the U.S. Government to develop a wireless communications system.
Tesla moved to high plateau near Colorado Springs.
There, he constructed a large experimental radio station unlike anything the world had ever seen before.
His plan was to study the characteristics of high voltage, high frequency alternating electrical currents.
The goal was to test "the laws of propagation of currents through the earth and the atmosphere."
His first task was to develop an extremely powerful transmitter and perfect a method to channel, “individualize,” the transmitted energy.
