From RT:

Leonid and Sergey Plekhanov, graduates of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, claim they have spent years scrutinizing the Nikola Tesla's patents and diaries and they believe that with his most ambitious project - transcontinental wireless energy transmissions - Tesla came very close to unprecedented scientific discovery that could be brought to fruition.

The enthusiasts say they need about $800,000 to reconstruct the famous Wardenclyffe Tower once created by Tesla himself to implement his ideas and find a commercial application for his ideas on long-distance wireless energy transmission.

The Plekhanov brothers are raising money through IndieGogo croudfunding.

    It's all over my head. I've actually witnessed what ground waves can do in radio - but I don't understand how the electrons flow. If they can make "free" energy flow from the desert, through the earth, to where it's needed - great. I just don't have any high hopes of success. Just think of it though - instead of paying the electric company to monitor the power we use, we just pay a tax to the government to maintain all those solar panels! Sweet!

    Oil company lobbies would probably put a stop to it right quick though.

    Man who sees radio waves mystified by Tesla's 100 year old pipe dream. Film at 11.
