The Wardenclyffe Tower

Oliver Nichelson suggested that the Tunguska explosion may have been
the result of an experiment by Nikola Tesla using the Wardenclyffe
Tower, performed during one of Admiral Robert Peary's North Pole
expeditions.[55][58][59]

This theory failed to gain many adherents owing to the lack of
positive evidence, the presence of meteoroid fragments in soils and
trees from the time, and the fact that the Wardenclyffe Tower was
largely or entirely inactive at that time.
