Thomas Edison corresponded regularly with him and recommended the use of an accumulator to store energy during hours of low consumption and to redistribute this energy during hours of high consumption.

In 1881, Henri Tudor was still a student when he succeeded in building the first Tudor Accumulator which operated for 16 years without interruption. In 1884, Henri Tudor developed the energy car, a mobile accumulator-motor device for multi-purpose use: an electric motor for isolated farms, circuses, itinerant movie installations, military camps, etc.
