Nikola-Tesla (Nikola Tesla) is one of the greatest dreamers in the early 20th century, and today we still use AC power system he developed. But his personal goal is to develop a means of wireless transmission of electrical energy. He once built a tall tower to the demonstration of wireless power transmission, but this system was never completed.

Now a band of Russia engineers want to complete this unfinished project Tesla, and has launched a fund-raising campaign to build a Tesla's wireless power transfer system effectively working prototypes.

Leonid and Sergey Plekhanov graduated from Moscow Institute of physics and technology, who has spent many years studying Tesla prototype and patent and test the concept of wireless transmission of electrical energy. Now they are convinced that Tesla has scored some successes, his unfinished project of long-distance wireless power transmission is possible.

The first step of the project is the construction of a modern version of Tesla's transmission tower, whose height will reach 57 m. They are on Indiegogo website looking for money to make this project continues. At present, the funds they raise from $ 800,000 goal was still far off, but there were still more than a month's time. All the sponsors agreed that the project's memorable.

Plekhanov said that as long as 39,000 square miles (100,000 square kilometers) of solar panels can provide enough power to meet the global demand for energy. That is only a 200-mile-square with side length solar plant will be able to provide global power. But the problem is how to transmit that energy to where it's needed in the world. Russia team believe that Tesla's wireless transmission systems can solve the problem.
