Drone footage recently captured in Russia reveals a Tesla Tower site that has been previously unseen. The footage was captured by RT affiliate Ruptly, who got special clearance to fly a drone onto the hidden site near Moscow.

According to the Russian state news agency, this one Tesla site alone has the capability of powering the whole Russian energy grid. It was not made clear in the video or its description when this site was built, or if it was ever actually operational.

Although many details about the site are unclear, it has been reported that it was built during the cold-war era and may have been an experimental test site at the time.

Sites like this are said to work by using Tesla coils and harnessing energy from the air.

A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity.Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.

Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, phosphorescence, X-ray generation, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and the transmission of electrical energy without wires. Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s, and in medical equipment such as electrotherapy and violet ray devices.
