More information on Nikola Tesla can be found at the Tesla Wardenclyffe Project (TWP) web site. Interesting bits and pieces in the extensive Q&A section! TWP is an organization that advocates the preservation and adaptive reuse of Wardenclyffe, one of Tesla's laboratories located in Shoreham, Long Island, NY. The Wardenclyffe plant, which included a huge tower for wireless transmission of radio signals, was designed as the foundation of a multifaceted global communications system. Unfortunately, due to lack of financial support, the plant was never completed. The tower was demolished in 1917, but the original laboratory building still stands. TWP has the goal to convert the site into a science museum complex to be known as the 'Tesla Museum and Science Center at Wardenclyffe'. Various photos at the TWP Photo Archive.
