After leaving the Edison company, Tesla founded Tesla Electric
Light & Manufacturing and began developing his ideas for AC
transmission systems. His investors fired him from the
company, but he founded the Tesla Electric Company in 1887,
where he manufactured a brushless AC induction motor. He
also demonstrated the wireless transmission of energy (known
as the Tesla Effect) and patented the Tesla coil in 1891. In 1894
he began experimenting with X-rays. His work was lost in a fire
in 1895, but he went on to develop many related inventions, Xrays, in addition to patenting an electrical transmitter that
would be used in the radio.
Tesla's Project

Edison established the first industrial research laboratory in
Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was here that he invented the first
commercially viable incandescent light bulb and the carbon
microphone that was used in all telephones up until the 1980s,
patented a system for distributing electricity in 1880, and
founded the Edison Illuminating Company, which built a power
generation system on Pearl Street throughout lower
Manhattan.
