Description

La Wardenclyffe Tower, nota anche come Torre di Tesla, fu una delle prime torri aeree per la trasmissione senza fili. Progettata da Nikola Tesla era destinata alla telefonia commerciale senza fili attraverso l'Atlantico, alla radiodiffusione e alla dimostrazione pratica del trasferimento di energia senza fili. La struttura non fu mai completamente operativa e venne demolita nel 1917.

Deve il suo nome a James S. Warden, un avvocato e banchiere proprietario e acquirente di possedimenti a Shoreham, Long Island, a circa 60 miglia da Manhattan. Qui diede vita a una comunità-villaggio conosciuta come Wardenclyffe-On-Sound. Warden credeva che, con la messa in funzione del "sistema mondiale" di Tesla sarebbe nata nell'area una "città della radio", offrendo a Tesla 200 acri di terreno, nei pressi di una linea ferroviaria sul quale costruire il laboratorio e la sua torre per telecomunicazioni senza fili.
