In June 1884, Tesla emigrated to the United States and began working for Edison.
In 1885, he obtained his first patent in the US; improved DC generator.

In 1888, Westinghouse hired Tesla to be a consultant at the Westinghouse’s labs. .
In 1889, Tesla proved the existence of electromagnetic radiation.
After 1890, Tesla attempted to develop a wireless lighting system.
In 1893, Tesla developed and patented a better way to generate alternating current.
In 1893, Westinghouse Electric branded AC system as the “Tesla Polyphase System”.
In 1893 Tesla was sure he could power to any distance without the use of wires.
From 1892 to 1894, Tesla served as a vice-president of the IEEE.
From the 1890s through 1906, Tesla focus was on the power wireless transmission.
Starting in 1894, Tesla may have proceeded his own experiments in X-ray imaging.
In 1898, Tesla demonstrated a radio-controlled boat, or the Radio remote control.
Tesla spent his later years “broke” in a hotel room in New York city, where he was found dead in his room by a hotel maid at age 86 on the morning of Jan. 7, 1943.
