Tesla's World System 1 Drawing

Scale representation of Nikola Tesla's 'World System' design for the wireless transmission of electrical energy. Pencil, Pen & Ink. 590mm x 840mm. By Toby John Short, dated 13-5-2011. Scuffing, damage and yellowing are intentional to produce an antique 'uncovered' look. Tesla first filed the patent application in 1902 and had almost completed the tower at "Wardenclyffe" in Shoreham on Long Island New York, though final stages of funding by J.P. Morgan and Westinghouse were never granted due to the realisation it would provide free electricity and telecommunications throughout the world. The tower was later demolished in 1917. The remains of Wardenclyffe have recently been saved by the public to become a functioning science centre and museum. 10% of the sale of this edition on Saatchi Online (after commision) will be donated to the restoration of Tesla's Wardenclyffe This is the first of three originals to be released directly from the artist.
