Wardenclyffe laboratory/station - Nikola Tesla

3D modeling by Vladimir Jaksic, Marko Novakovic, Milos Novakovic Wardenclyffe Tower (1901--1917) also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early wireless transmission tower designed by Nikola Tesla in Shoreham, New York and intended for commercial trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, broadcasting, and proof-of-concept demonstrations of wireless power transmission. It was never fully operational, and the tower was demolished in 1917. The tower was named after James S. Warden, a western lawyer and banker who had purchased land for the endeavor in Shoreham, Long Island, about sixty miles from Manhattan. Here he built a resort community known as Wardenclyffe-On-Sound. He offered Tesla 200 acres (81 ha) of land close to a railway line on which to build his wireless telecommunications tower and laboratory facility. Warden planed to eventually build housing for 2000-2500 people who would work in a factory producing Tesla&patented devices.
