Description

Der 1901 errichtete 57 Meter hohe Wardenclyffe Tower war ein experimenteller, nicht vollendeter und ganz aus Holz gebauter Funkturm von Nikola Tesla bei Shoreham, am nördlichen Küstenstreifen von Long Island, USA. Die Kuppel des Turms hatte einen Durchmesser von 20 Metern.
Tesla begann etwa um 1898 mit der Planung des Turmes. Im Jahr 1901 wurde der Turm auf Long Island gebaut . Hauptsponsor des Projektes war J. P. Morgan. Tesla stellte diese Anlage gegenüber J.P. Morgan als Radiosender zur Übertragung transatlantischer Nachrichten und als direkte Konkurrenz zu den damaligen Anlagen von Guglielmo Marconi dar. 1902 errichtete Tesla ein neues Laboratorium direkt am Turm, das jedoch ebenfalls nie ganz fertiggestellt wurde.
