Modern researchers try to bring to life the idea of a scientist who lived more than a hundred years ago. We are talking about Nikola Tesla. In 1891, the inventor developed the Tesla coil, a resonant transformer that transmits electricity without wires, but only over short distances.
Due to its limited capacity, it was not used. However, the scientist was not going to give up and created a project for a power plant that could cope with high-voltage wireless power transmission. Tesla tried to use it to transmit messages wirelessly over long distances. Unfortunately, the JP Morgan investor refused to provide additional funds for the tests, and, in 1906, the project was canceled and closed. Tesla’s dream was to place huge towers around the world that could transmit power wirelessly to any place, powering houses, enterprises, industrial facilities, and even giant electric ships in the ocean. Tesla died, unable to fully realize his idea of wireless electricity, but his followers continued the work of an outstanding scientist. In 1964, microwave electronics expert William C. Brown, first tested a helicopter model capable of receiving and using microwave beam energy as the direct current through an antenna array consisting of half-wave dipoles with highly efficient Schottky diodes.
