Wireless Energy Transfer: It's Reality

Think of a world where you could charge your phone while moving on without any wires, the car you drive can be powered on the go, moving through the Galaxy and not worrying about the fuel all this futuristic things are going to get true very soon, Scientists in Japan have announced that they've successfully managed to transmit energy wirelessly with high accuracy,and this is not the invention that occurs daily this COULD CHANGE THE FUTURE of our energy need.

The researchers from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced a day before yesterday that they had used microwaves to deliver 1.8 kilowatts of power - just enough to power a kettle - through the air to a receiver 55 metres away, with pinpoint accuracy, this technology had nothing to do with what we use these days to power our mobile wirelessly with the help of a magnetic field.


"This was the first time anyone has managed to send a high output of nearly two kilowatts of electric power via microwaves to a small target, using a delicate directivity control device," a spokesperson for JAXA told.

The ultimate aim of the team is to provide earth with solar energy that will be collected 36000km above earth's surface and will be transmitted to earth where it will be received by antennas. "But it could take decades before we see practical application of the technology - maybe in the 2040s or later," the spokesperson told.

"There are a number of challenges to overcome, such as how to send huge structures into space, how to construct them and how to maintain them."
