Abstract

Discusses how Nikola Tesla's dream of wireless power transmission has now being realized by companies such as Emrod. Emrod is working with Powerco, a New Zealand electricity distributor, to develop and test a prototype system that will send electricity generated by a solar farm to a client over a distance of several kilometers. The company plans to do this by converting dc electricity to a microwave beam that is transmitted and converted back to usable electricity at the customer’s site [4]. Some readers would recall that this “powerbeaming” was tried before during the energy crisis in the 1970s, when NASA was tinkering with the Solar Power Satellite system.
