MMK Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Can anyone plz provide me a comprehensive data on Wireless Energy Transmission especially via Microwaves.......... All of its pros and cons.......
Enthalpy Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 - Expensive, but magnetrons exist at 2.45 GHz for ovens - Short distance, because of diffraction at 2.45 GHz - Inefficient, at best 50% - Cooks living organisms in between - Interferes with data communications To get more answers, your should describe your intent with more details. Powering a smartcard with 50mW isn't the same as powering a remote village with 100kW which isn't the same a transmitting 10GW from an orbital Solar power plant to Earth.
MMK Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Well I was thinking of transmitting microwaves from ground-based antennas towards approaching aircraft having on-board rectennas..... replacing the gas turbines with electric motors and so & so......... for that obviously a central management system will be required and multiple antennas will have to be erected at suitable points along the flight paths integrated by that central management system........ I know its kind of too good to be true but still how should I proceed for the same to happen???? Plz help me out on this one Edited December 26, 2012 by MMK
efzauner Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 This topic has been well researched and I believe experimental vehicles models flown. Not for long distances, but for example, keeping something flying constantly above a fixed location. Harvesting the radio and microwave radiation transmitted around can power small devices... Expect some real products that use this technology to appear within the next few years. I am sure you could do a google search to find information.
