Re: [Vo]:[EE] Wireless power transmission
Safe - Emrod uses beams in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band with frequencies commonly used in WiFi, Bluetooth, and RfID. - Point-to-Point transmission means that power is beamed directly between two points. There is no radiation around the beam, as there is with high voltage wire transmission. - Low power laser safety curtain ensures that the transmission beam immediately shuts down before any transient object (such as a bird or helicopter) can reach the main beam ensuring it never touches anything except clean air. - Reduces electrocution risk associated with wires https://emrod.energy/wireless-power/ >

The power density available is at most 80 W/m^2, while normal sunlight is about 1000 W/m^2 (at best, at the surface).

Re: [Vo]:[EE] Wireless power transmission--are neutrinos involved?
BoB. Randall Mills postulated an oscillating universe already 30 years ago based on space time expansion due to photon emission. This allowed him to predict that the universe in fact does expand! He also gave the very exact reason why this happens!! So I do not think that any of these astronomers are famous except for their ignorance of exact physics! Of course this prediction (current expansion) can only be made if you forget the faulty Einstein general relativity and switch to a more general space metric. As we know the universe is not dominated by gravity. A black hole is a magnetically bound mass as already Einstein 1933 did prove that based on gravity you cannot get a black hole.

RE: [Vo]:[EE] Wireless power transmission
Directed EM energy beams have been around since the 60’s at least. To my knowledge gamma, x-ray and normal light all have been used in high energy medium and low energy transmission. The technology associated with the medium and high energy spectrum has been weaponized and is classified in most places. I am surprised about NZ. Note how carefully the item avoids any mention of how the energy occurs for fear of immediate necessity for classification.

Re: [Vo]:[EE] Wireless power transmission
I see what you mean. I was unaware of their focused beam method. OTOH, Tesla did invent radio as we know it , but no one seems to know that.. I'm not a slavish Tesla fan, but the history is reasonably clear. This system wouldn't solve the power distribution problem either, since the lack of enough copper happens at the lower voltage distribution level. Similar methods have been proposed to send power to earth from orbiting solar cell arrays, and probably just as impractical. Visions of birds and small aircraft being vaporized if they accidentally cross the beam come to mind.
