  2. Tesla Electric Light and Manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Electric_Light_and...

    The company was formed in a partnership between Tesla, Robert Lane and Benjamin Vale with Tesla given the task of designing an arc lighting system, a fast growing segment of the new electric light industry used mostly for outdoor lighting. Tesla designed an arc lamp with automatic adjustment and a fail-switch as well as

  3. Plasma globe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_globe

    Tesla used an incandescent-type lamp ball with a single internal conductive element and excited the element with high voltage currents from a Tesla coil, thus creating the brush discharge emanation. He gained patent protection on a particular form of the lamp in which a light-giving small body or button of refractory material is supported by a ...

  4. Plasma lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_lamp

    The internal-electrodeless lamp was invented by Nikola Tesla after his experimentation with high-frequency currents in evacuated glass tubes for the purposes of lighting and the study of high voltage phenomena. The first practical plasma lamps were the sulfur lamps manufactured by Fusion Lighting. This lamp suffered several practical problems ...

    1893 Nikola Tesla puts forward his ideas on high frequency and wireless electric lighting [9] [10] which included public demonstrations where he lit a Geissler tube wirelessly. 1894 Daniel McFarlan Moore creates the Moore tube, precursor of electric gas-discharge lamps.

  6. Carbon button lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_button_lamp

    In February 1892, Tesla gave a lecture to the Institution of Electrical Engineers, in which he described the carbon button lamp in detail. He also described several variants of the lamp, one of which uses a ruby drop in place of the carbon button. Tesla went on to develop it as a near commercial lighting product. [1]

  7. War of the currents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents

    The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting ...

  8. History of the Tesla coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Tesla_coil

    Tesla invented the Tesla coil during efforts to develop a "wireless" lighting system, with gas discharge light bulbs that would glow in an oscillating electric field from a high voltage, high frequency power source. [11] [8] For a high frequency source Tesla powered a Ruhmkorff coil (induction coil) with his high frequency alternator.
