⚡ More than half a million pounds recycled for Tesla!

Since 2013, Metal for Tesla has collected and recycled an incredible 554,069 pounds of metal—more than 277 tons—all in support of Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe and a more sustainable future.

Here’s something remarkable: A published study of Wardenclyffe describes Tesla’s historic tower structure as weighing approximately 242,000 kilograms, or 533,519 pounds.

That means Metal for Tesla has now recycled more than the reported weight of the original Wardenclyffe Tower!

This milestone represents years of consistent, hands-on work by our dedicated Facilities & Grounds (F&G) team. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has donated materials, transported loads, or helped keep the program moving forward.

Interested in lending a hand and joining our F&G volunteers? Reach out to learn how you can help!

Donate metal. Support science. Honor Tesla. ⚡♻️

⚡ Look closely — there's a piece of Nikola Tesla history hiding in this photo.

This rear view of the Shoreham depot, taken around 1905 from the entrance of the old Shoreham Inn, shows something remarkable just above the rooftop: the upper portion of Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower.

Here's a detail that surprises a lot of our visitors, Shoreham was originally named Wardenclyffe. For locals passing through this depot, the tower wasn't a historical curiosity, it was simply part of the view.

This is exactly the kind of connection Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) works to preserve. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, TSCW is dedicated to transforming the site of Nikola's last remaining laboratory into a global science center. You can see this history for yourself on our Picture the Past Tour, a 90-minute guided walk through Wardenclyffe's story from 1900–1917.

Long before Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) began its work preserving Nikola Tesla's last remaining laboratory, this stretch of Long Island's North Shore had its own quiet history and this 1905 photo of the Shoreham train depot is a piece of it.

According to the late LIRR ticket agent Thomas R. Bayles, the Shoreham depot was considered one of the fancier stations on the line, with wicker furniture in the waiting room and wooden shake siding on the exterior. Note the old hand-pulled Long Island Express wagon on the platform and the Dietz kerosene platform lamp — small details of a station that once anchored daily life in the village.

This is the kind of local history TSCW loves sharing with our community because Wardenclyffe's story doesn't start and end with Nikola Tesla. It's woven into the fabric of Shoreham itself. We bring photos like this one to life on our Picture the Past Tour, a 90-minute guided walk through Wardenclyffe's history from 1900–1917, filled with archival imagery and stories just like this one.

As the US Open returns to New York, we’re looking back at the day Novak Djokovic visited Wardenclyffe, the historic home of Nikola Tesla’s only remaining laboratory. 🎾⚡

Novak Djokovic, we still remember how powerfully you reflected on walking the same grounds where Tesla pursued some of his boldest ideas. Your admiration for Tesla and your commitment to excellence, perseverance, and humanitarianism made your visit especially meaningful to everyone at Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe.

Thank you for helping share Tesla’s legacy with the world. Wardenclyffe will always be proud to welcome you—and we’d love to see you back here again!

Wishing you the very best in New York, Novak Djokovic!

⚡ DID YOU KNOW?

Nikola Tesla had a bold vision: a global system that could transmit electricity and information without physical power lines.

He called it his “World Wireless System,” envisioning the Earth itself as a giant electrical circuit capable of providing power and communication signals around the globe.

In 1901, with funding from J.P. Morgan, Tesla began construction of the Wardenclyffe Tower and adjacent laboratory on Long Island. Designed by architect Stanford White, the nearly 187-foot tower was intended to be a transmitter for wireless power and communication.

Although the tower never became operational, Tesla continued working on wireless transmission theories throughout his life. His ideas were visionary and ahead of their time, influencing modern wireless technologies including Wi-Fi, wireless charging and long-distance communication.

Little Nik had the best day at the 2026 Nikola Tesla Expo! ⚡ From peering through the Custer Institute's telescopes to marveling at the Egg of Columbus, getting hands-on at the Long Island Aquarium touch tank, and exploring the BioBus, our littlest inventor explored it all.

Moments like these are what the Expo is all about — curious minds discovering science, history, and wonder on the very grounds where Nikola Tesla once dreamed of a wireless world. A huge thank you to all our incredible partners who helped bring that spirit to life.
