Turnul Wardenclyffe (1901–1917) cunoscut și ca Turnul Tesla, a fost un prim turn de telecomunicații fără fir proiectat de Nikola Tesla și destinat telefoniei fără fir comerciale trans-atlantice, audiovizualului și pentru a demonstra transmiterea energiei electrice fără fire de interconectare.[2][3] Clădirea principală nu a fost construită din cauza unor probleme financiare și nu a fost niciodată pe deplin operațională.[4]

Today, a fight is looming over the ghostly remains of that site, called Wardenclyffe — what Tesla authorities call the only surviving workplace of the eccentric genius who dreamed countless big dreams while pioneering wireless communication and alternating current. The disagreement began recently after the property went up for sale in Shoreham, N.Y.
