Summary
Serbian-American inventor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla" class="extiw" title="w:Nikola Tesla">Nikola Tesla</a> demonstrating wireless power transmission, probably in his New York laboratory in the 1890s. The bulb is a prototype "fluorescent" light he invented consisting of a partially evacuated glass bulb with a single metal electrode. Nearby but not visible there is one of his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil" class="extiw" title="w:Tesla coil">Tesla coil</a> high voltage oscillators which produces a radio frequency <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/electric_field" class="extiw" title="w:electric field">electric field</a>. The electric field ionizes the gas in the bulb, causing it to glow similar to a neon light. Tesla invented a residential wireless lighting system in the 1889s.
