Despite the fact that Tesla worked closely with Westinghouse, he still retained his own laboratory, and was very happy when he was working there. He continued to make new discoveries, one of which was a lamp that fluoresced, and was actually a forerunner of today's fluorescent tubes. These hit the market some fifty years after Tesla's prototypes! He also investigated many other phenomena including X-rays and a vacuum tube or valve very similar to the Audion or triode valve pioneered by de Forest in 1907.

Why did Nikola Tesla invent the fluorescent lighting?

Nikola Tesla did not invent fluorescent lighting. The modern fluorescent lamp was actually invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt in the early 20th century. Tesla did, however, make significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering and worked on various technologies including alternating current (AC) electricity and radio communication.


Did Nikola Tesla invented ac current?

During his lifetime, Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, the Tesla induction motor, the Tesla coil, and developed the alternating current (AC) electrical supply system that included a motor and transformer, and 3-phase electricity.


When did tesla invented the fluorescent light?

It was Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel who first conceived the idea of placing a fluorescent coating on the inner surface of a high voltage gas discharge tube but he didn't quite made it work properly. Tesla's investigations in the area of high-voltage RF power processing techniques did result in the very first high efficiency, high frequency lighting ballasts in 1892.


Did Nikola Tesla sisters die?

Nikola was the fourth of five children, having one older brother and three sisters, Milka, Angelina and Marica. Dane, who was killed in a horse-riding accident when Nikola was five, made Nikola to become the older brother of the Tesla's silibins. The sisters died of old age.
