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.
