Tesla considered the entire globe to be an electrical conductor that could be made to resonate at different frequencies. Tesla wanted to harness the ground to utilize his technology however, with the Hertzian system the atmosphere is used as the medium and ground is not a major part of the design. Tesla foretold of a brilliant new future for humankind, using his non-Hertian 'wireless system,' including the ability to generate power and transmit it to various parts of the globe.

He described his 'wireless' waves being far superior to Hertzian waves, which diminish with distance. Nikola Tesla advanced the electromagnetism theory into new dimensions, further than Hertz and other scientists of his time could conceive. Hertz's discoveries would later be more fully understood and taken up by such great giants like Tesla, but in his time Hertz had no idea what these 'radio' waves could be used for. The measurement of frequencies as cycles per second was changed to Hertz, or, Hz in his honor. Heinrich Hertz (1857 -1894), the discoverer of electromagnetic or 'wireless' waves, described the action of electric and magnetic fields as radiating from a wire in transverse waves (the familiar up and down sinewave-like motion) that would equal the speed of light. During his epochal visit to Colorado Springs in 1899, he made new discoveries about the nature of electromagnetic waves, known to some as stationary or longitudinal waves, to others as scalar waves. Nikola Tesla constantly wrote about what he called non-Hertzian waves.
