Don't forget an ancient experimenter that wanted to transmit energy: considerable amounts, by wireless!!! He wasn't stupid and was deadly serious about this quest. Read his history!

His name was Nikola Tesla who spent untold amounts of money trying to do just this! He wasn't successful except over very short distances and the efficiency wasn't good.

So don't get your hopes up.

Tesla revolutionized the AC electric generation and transmission system with Westinghouse bankrolling him and made the polyphase AC system the cornerstone for all the systems on the "grid" today except for the small amount solar and wind power contribute at this time. There really isn't a technology that will outdo steam turbine power generation except perhaps for nuclear plants which can become runaway hazards as demonstrated by 6 Mile Island and Chernobyl Russia meltdowns plus the tsunami upset nuclear plants in Japan! Engineers and ecologists still haven't found a way to safely store spent nuclear fuel rods without them having the possibility of becoming toxic and extremely dangerous in the future.

Transmitting megawatts of power versus just a few watts wirelessly are horses of two completely different colors in spite of what the "dreamers" say.

I can't post on the site but I'd like to ask about the EMC conformance of such a device, another PLT saga coming up.

Chargers for small electronic devices that use low frequency induction at
close range are common and harmless.

But how about a device that is said to use many transmitters to focus energy
at a rate of 1 Watt onto a device that is 30 ft away?

Harmless??
