Wireless Microwave Electrical Power Transmission



Even after 42 years of electrical knowledge as a retired master electrician I am still adding and learning new off the shelf products and technology as it becomes available onto today's market. My entire career has always lead me to believe that by using quality materials with quality craftsmanship are that service call backs will be non existence. Do the project correctly the 1st time and every time for a fine tuned electrical operating system that gives years of trouble free operation.


 Always looking for new different electrical power charging sources that can be (1) hybrid combined with other wind/solar/? sources of power (2) PLC automation controlled (3) zero fuel emission if possible or on auto start generator to lower fuel consumption & running time (4) quality products that economically will last the eol End Of Life cycle for operation hours.

A article written by Michael Shu, has information on the subject here is the link


Many more good reading reports from the Stanford students!



Wireless Power Transmission

Submitted as coursework for PH240, Stanford University, Fall 2011


After stirring up the thought of what the #### is this all about? I went looking on the web for the answer and discovered that by doing a google search. It gave information on how microwave technology can wireless transmission up to 1000 kilowatts  electrical power from space to earth with solar arrays placed in outer space and beamed back to earth by microwave or laser. It has been known that for many years now that the military, telecom, commercial application are already using these forms of wireless transmission for electrical power. aka Shot a microwave signal off a satellite  and pick the signal up anywhere on earth and convert it back into electrical power.

A article called.

Space Based Solar Power, solar power satellite (SPS) concept

Describes the space voltage wireless transmission and voltage options http://www.altenergy.org/new_energy/space-solar-power.html

Seems as with research that there are many who want to stay tight lipped on this wireless transmission of electrical power and others want to unfold arrays of solar panels for large outer space solar farms. Either way solar/wind hybrid electrical power is here to  stay and with microprocessors to control switching it will only get better and faster as technology involves.

And we can not forget about Tesla and his many theories, inventions and all that he gave to us all.
There are some big time electronics manufacturers using Tesla inventions according to this article written by

Then the many web search hits about Japan and there claims that NASA is doing research on the International Space Station using this microwave power transmission. 

In conclusion it appears that the transmission of electrical power is possible and will advance as technology, new products and the right people to bring it altogether Your next pure sinewave inverter someday will be hooked to a satellite dish.
