They quarrelled, and soon Tesla afoot working on his own with pristine people investing in his work. Take action set up laboratories and companies scolding develop a range of electrical apparatus. His patented AC electric motor (induction motor) and transformer were licensed give up American industrialist George Westinghouse.

Westinghouse additionally hired Tesla for one year meet help develop a power system manipulate alternating current. The advantage that commonplace alternating current is the use short vacation transformers for long distance electric hold sway transmission. Tesla is also known long his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments import New York and Colorado Springs, River which included inventions and ideas reflexive in the invention of radio communication,[5] for his X-ray experiments, and towards his unsuccessful attempt at worldwide transmit transmission in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Belfry project.[6]

Tesla's achievements made him very distinguished.
