The dream of harnessing electricity wirelessly—a vision once thought to be the stuff of science fiction—is rapidly approaching reality. Thanks to advances in technology, the concept of “power beaming” is set to revolutionize the way we transmit energy, potentially impacting everything from household electricity to powering remote areas. This breakthrough technology, which eliminates the need for traditional wiring, is poised to redefine our relationship with energy and could have far-reaching implications for both the environment and global energy consumption.
A Century-Old Vision Comes to Life
The idea of wireless energy transmission is not a new one. In 1901, visionary inventor Nikola Tesla proposed a system to send electricity through the Earth’s ionosphere. Although his ambitious project never materialized, it laid the groundwork for future innovations. Fast forward to 1964, when engineer William C. Brown successfully powered a small helicopter using microwaves. By 1975, in collaboration with NASA, Brown managed to transmit 30 kilowatts over a distance of one mile, albeit with only 50% efficiency. Today, advances in laser technology, miniaturization, and computational power have reignited interest in wireless energy.
Modern systems aim to utilize electromagnetic waves such as microwaves, radio waves, and lasers to transfer power without physical connections. A solar power station in space could theoretically transmit up to 1 gigawatt of energy—equivalent to a nuclear power plant—back to Earth. This technology represents a fusion of age-old concepts with cutting-edge advancements, bringing the dream of wireless power closer than ever.
Potential Applications and Challenges
Wireless energy transmission holds enormous potential across various fields. Imagine satellites and drones operating indefinitely without the need for battery changes, or electric vehicles charging on the go. In remote areas where infrastructure is lacking, wireless power could provide a reliable energy source without the need for extensive groundwork. Additionally, it could replace traditional backup generators with receiver antennas, offering a cleaner alternative.
Several companies, such as EMROD in New Zealand and Reach Power in the USA, are pioneering this technology, achieving up to 95% efficiency with goals to reach 99%. Nonetheless, significant challenges remain. Energy efficiency must be optimized to minimize losses, and safety protocols need to ensure human health is not at risk. Furthermore, the wavelength range of these waves requires large receiver antennas, posing another hurdle for widespread adoption. Overcoming these challenges will be essential for unlocking the full potential of wireless energy.
The Imminent Future of Wireless Power
Unlike many futuristic technologies, wireless energy transmission is already finding practical applications. NASA is keenly interested, and companies like Powercast and Wi Charge are testing solutions to power smart sensors and retail lighting. Meanwhile, Japan’s JAXA plans to establish a space-based solar power station capable of delivering 1 gigawatt by 2030. If research and development efforts continue at the current pace, the transition to a wireless electrical grid might occur sooner than anticipated.
This technological leap could pave the way for a new era of energy distribution, potentially reshaping the global energy landscape. As these developments unfold, it is crucial to consider their implications for sustainability and energy equity. Could wireless energy be the key to solving the world’s energy challenges?

Wow, this is mind-blowing! Tesla would be so proud to see his vision come to life. ⚡️
They did not sllow him to finish it because jp morgan pulled his money on it when he realised what he was attempting to do, there was no way to meter it.
But what about safety? Are there any health risks associated with wireless electricity?
Ya 30 Kilowatts of microwaves would fry you up…
Hope this doesn’t mean more interference with our gadgets. That would be a nightmare!
Isn’t this just asking for hackers to find a new way to mess with us?

The current electrical grid in North America is extremely vulnerable and there has been no significant development in the basic technology in a 100 years. Think about that. It’s well documented that there are cheaper and more efficient ways to distribute electricity. Greed and the obsession with controlling all aspects of human existence has prohibited the development and release of improved tech.
It appears though that we are at the point now that they know it can’t be held back any longer. We are going to see very soon zero point energy technology, energy harvesting from the aether, plasmoids, retrofits for combustion engines that clean up 99.9% exhaust of emissions and many more. It’s way passed due. Let’s get on with it.
This is a ground breaking project in deed.
I’m enthusiast to see it attainable.
💯
The long term effect could be disastrous. A very dangerous thing we’re playing with here..
In an infinite universe everything is possible.
Is already on use. Go to Zimbabwe.
I swear, we are digging our own hole
100% we are fucked. Elon musk is convinced the human race ends by 2029 id say we’re right on track lol
Finally, no more tripping over wires! Thanks for the good news. 🙌
Are there any studies on the long-term effects of exposure to electromagnetic waves?
Ok but do you trust Trump, Xi and Putin to create orbital death ray platforms?
Yes
This indeed is mind blowing, We also need to think about global Health risks associated with electromagnetic waves due to electricity transmission. How safe are we in the long run
Wow what a brain Tessla had it is more the pity that they didn’t listen to him back in the early 1900s
Will you listen to me that food could/should be transfered wirelessly to fill ones’ stomach?
Good – we want be hungry but will will happen to culinary profession?
Wireless elctricity is safe because it operates on different wavelenghths from what we do. It was used in tartaria and off world. The unsafe wavelengths are currently in use in our tech now. Millimeters wavelengths radiation is far more harmful than the ones wireless.elxtrixty uses. It’s like being in an open air microwave walking arpund nowadays.
The comment inwas looking for. He was ridiculed, and if this is a true possibility en we know propaganda was used against him. Shame
How efficient is this compared to traditional wired electricity?
What about when the electromagnetic waves mess with airplanes and other flying objects ?
To be frank , I have once thought of this idea of wireless electricity which i thought it impossible
Now realizing that the idea as already be stated down since 1901
But before releasing in the global world , think about the safety
What happens to the lost electricity that is lost in the transmission?
Can this technology be used in remote areas that don’t have electricity yet?
Just a guess, but yes. Just a matter of antennas to boost it from the Source
Great, now I’m imagining my neighbor stealing my electricity. 😂
Yeah, just the way your neighbor steals your phone calls😊
Will this work with renewable energy sources like solar and wind?
Lunatic? Yes you are!
What happens to the lost electricity that is lost in the transmission?
Good question.
Congratulations, you just brought an innovative idea.
I will advice you patent this:
Kents’ excess wireless power vault.
Or
Kents’ excess wireless power bank.
Joe is gone bro. His 10% is obsolete.
You start you own company with your own money to develop and implement this technology. Then give away all you investment, time (personal and family) to support the implementation.
Sounds too good to be true. What’s the catch with wireless power?
The laws of physics, and the inverse square law, it is possible but horribly inefficient, even cell phone wireless chargers loose 30-40% of the power they transfer and that is less then a inch away, the article is bs unless it’s somehow involving lasers and that’s a different bad idea
When can we expect to see wireless power in commercial buildings?
Is it true that wireless power will eventually replace all traditional power lines?
Radiation levels and maybe genetic effects will be unfriendly
I’m concerned about the initial investment. Is it really worth it?
This is the kind of innovation we need to tackle climate change! 🌍
What happens if a bird flies through the wireless power field? 🐦
How does weather affect wireless electricity transmission?
Tesla was truly ahead of his time. It’s incredible to see his ideas coming to life.
So excited for the potential of wireless charging for electric cars! 🚗💨
Will this technology increase energy costs for consumers?
Seems like science fiction is becoming science fact. What a time to be alive! 🤖
Is this technology subject to government regulation? If so, how?
Can this technology support high-power appliances like ovens and fridges?
Will wireless power have an impact on the energy grid’s stability?
Wow what a brain Tessla had it is more the pity that they didn’t listen to him back in the early 1900s
I can’t wait to get rid of all the cables in my house. This is the future! 😍
How much will it cost to install wireless power in an average home?
Sounds amazing, but what about the impact on the environment? 🤔
Space based solar electricity needs large receiving antennas. Unlike ground based solar panels the antennas let most of the incident sunlight pass through leaving the land area still suitable for raising crops. We would not lose any farm land and the energy is available 24/7 when not in an eclipse. The space solar panels can be very light and cheap because they do not have to resist hail, snow, dirt, ice, and high winds. The missing technology is sufficiently low transportation cost to orbit.
We don’t need lose any farm land to land based solar panels either. You just build them so you farm between them.
I am going to buy this company
Matter and energy being the same thing in different states. Having THAT much more M/E passing through us all the time? No thanks.
You guys are just now finding out about this? Yea. Doi. That’s what a Tesla coil does. It siphons electricity from the atmosphere and distributes it. We were always supposed to have free electricity from this but… I think it was Rockefeller that was funding the project at first but when he realized people werent or didn’t have to pay for the electricity he cut funding to the project and it died. Funny how the article never mentions capitalism is the reason we don’t have nice things. Oh and people that invented hydrogen engines have been killed so their inventions never see the light of day.
Yea capitalists hate new technologies that make paying for things obsolete. This is why we are miserable. Bankers own the world and will never give it up. You’re mad at Trump?! Bah hahahaha
You’re mad at the BANKS not at Trump, I forgive youuuuu!
Complete nonsense. Your trump comment proves your uneducated. You are a good boy, barking for your master
Tesla was funded by J.P. Morgan and yes, when it was discovered that a meter could not be attached to Tesla’s wireless tower, the funding for wireless energy abruptly ended.
Great feat I’d never thought possible as an electrical technician. Imagine an era when our smart phones do not go off on low batteries
Has anyone looked at the research linking 60hz and, less so, 50hz electrical exposure to Alzheimer’s? 40hz has a blocking effect on alzheimer’s, so whether I would support this technology would depend upon whether it’s going to increase my risk and rate of Alzheimer’s, or reduce it, and other strong exposures to different hertz electrical Fields have different reactions in the body. This could be something that could be useful for healing and maintaining health, or it could be very dangerous.
You are no where to understanding cosmic ENERGY a difficult subject even for us who studied physics
Cosmic energy is called GOD ENERGY the whole universe is the work of cosmic energy. My advice just shut up
Complete nonsense. Household energy is going to come from individual generators. Each home will have a reactor of some sort. No more power lines, no EMF issues. The amount of power that EMF waves would require to power millions of homes is unattainable without harming animals, including humans.
Tesla was funded by J.P. Morgan and yes, when it was discovered that a meter could not be attached to Tesla’s wireless tower, the funding for wireless energy abruptly ended.
I hope lightening and thunder would not affect this?
Hummm!
Electric cars manufacturer have to include in their manual: Occupant of an EVs must where an insulator else they become a shunt. @patent right reserved.
Phillip Emegwali has tried
Borrowed knowledge from Africa, Zimbabwe inventor Michael.
So where does it say it’s powering a home? Where does it talk about the failures of this technology for any meaningful amount of power. Yes we can wireless power lightbulbs but that comes at huge efficiency loss and lightbulbs are low power. Any meaningful power would fry any person in its path. Very very disappointed on this article as it’s all a lie to farm add revenue from the NUMEROUS adds, I don’t blame the writer as I doubt it was there choice to post this. Adding this site to the list of blocked ones I don’t read from due to lack of credibility. Someone should be ashamed of this
95% 😺👍
Wow, awesome!!!
Wow! Great achievement.
I have some ideas on the energy efficiency and health risks. How we can increase efficiency and protect lives
I have been researching on that same technology and somehow achieved to charge my Phone at about 5m from the energy source
