July 1895

Manhattan, New York. Nikola Tesla is recovering from a deep depression following the fire in his laboratory. (Part of his self-prescribed therapy also includes periodic electroshocks.) Tesla finally manages to rent a new two-story laboratory at 46 East Houston Street. Here, he will focus on wireless transmission, X-rays, and radio control of a ship, which will lead to patent 613809, granted in 1898.
