Although  it was not until 1954-1959 when  experimental  measurements
were  made of the frequency that is propagated in the  resonant  cavity
surrounding  the Earth, recent analysis shows that it was Nikola  Tesla
who,  in 1899, first noticed the existence of stationary waves  in  the
Schumann cavity.  Tesla's experimental measurements of the wave  length
and   frequency   involved   closely   match   Schumann's   theoretical
calculations.  Some of these observations were made in 1899 while Tesla
was   monitoring  the  electromagnetic  radiations  due  to   lightning
discharges  in  a thunderstorm which passed over his  Colorado  Springs
laboratory  and  then  moved more than 200 miles  eastward  across  the
plains.   In  his  Colorado  Springs  Notes,  Tesla  noted  that  these
stationary waves "... can be produced with an oscillator," and added in
parenthesis,  "This is of immense importance."6  The importance of  his
observations is due to the support they lend to the prime objective  of
the Colorado Springs laboratory.  The intent of the experiments and the
laboratory   Tesla   had  constructed  was  to  prove   that   wireless
transmission of electrical power was possible.

[[Schumann Resonance]] is analogous to pushing a pendulum.  The intent of
Project Tesla is to create pulses or electrical disturbances that would
travel in all directions around the Earth in the thin membrane of  non-
conductive  air between the ground and the ionosphere.  The  pulses  or
waves would follow the surface of the Earth in all directions expanding
outward  to  the  maximum circumference of the  Earth  and  contracting
inward  until meeting at a point opposite to that of  the  transmitter.
This  point  is  called the anti-pode.  The traveling  waves  would  be
reflected  back from the anti-pode to the transmitter to be  reinforced
and sent out again.

At  the  time of his measurements Tesla was  experimenting  with  and
researching  methods  for "...power transmission  and  transmission  of
intelligible  messages to any point on the globe."  Although Tesla  was
not  able to commercially market a system to transmit power around  the
globe,  modern scientific theory and mathematical calculations  support
his  contention  that the wireless propagation of electrical  power  is
possible and a feasible alternative to the extensive and costly grid of
electrical   transmission  lines  used  today  for   electrical   power
distribution.
