One of the greatest scientists and inventors that has ever lived, Nikola Tesla has made many remarkable discoveries that have advanced the human race. He is best known for the invention of the Tesla coil and alternating current (AC) electricity. But, there are many other reasons why we should all be thankful for this genius. His contributions are part what we us on a daily basis – X-ray, radio, remote control and the light bulb to name a few. With much of his work underappreciated, it is our mission to carry on his legacy giving him the recognition he deserves.

CONTINUE NIKOLA TESLA'S LEGACY
The Mission
With your help, we can transform Tesla’s last remaining laboratory into a global science center, and have it serve as a pivotal hub for research, academia, STEAM education, incubators and economic development for Long Island. Please join us and Tesla supporters from around the world in uniting for this important cause for the benefit of humanity.
DonateThe World Saved Wardenclyffe. Now It's Time to Build.
Over 33,000 people from across the globe united in a 2012 crowdfund to raise the funds needed to purchase Wardenclyffe and save it from demolition. Since then, TSCW and our supporters have persevered to acquire permits and approvals, develop site plans and operations, and do whatever it takes to move the project forward. Now, it's time to break ground and renovate the only laboratory in existence built by the great inventor, Nikola Tesla--but we need your support! Donate today to help create a world-class museum and innovation center that continues Tesla's legacy of advancing science for the betterment of humanity.
