invented an improved arc lamp system, which overheated the iron core and melted the insulation between the main and secondary windings in the coil. To fix this problem, he came up with his Tesla coil with an air gap instead of insulating material between the windings

After 1890, Tesla experimented with the transmission of power by inductive and capacitive coupling, using high voltages of alternating current generated with his Tesla coil.83 He tried to develop a wireless lighting system based on inductive and capacitive coupling.

By early 1893, Westinghouse engineer Benjamin G. Lamme had made great progress developing an efficient version of Tesla's induction motor, and Westinghouse Electric began to label his entire polyphase system the "Tesla Polyphase System." They believed
Westinghouse Electric asked Tesla to participate in the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition of 1893,

The fire started in the basement of the building and was so intense that Tesla's laboratory on the fourth floor burned down and collapsed on the second floor.

Meanwhile, in November of that same year, the German scientist Wilhelm Röntgen concluded his extensive and systematic investigation of X-rays, publishing his findings in 1895. Tesla's first publication on "Rontgen rays" dates from 1895.
