I’ve driven by this tower a bunch of times on I-35 and was always curious about it. Turns out it’s an experiment in wireless energy transmission, built in 2017. A century after Nikola Tesla, fascinating that folks are working on this again.

Oddly-shaped tower with trees and hay bails in foreground.
