Yeah, Tesla did this like 100 years ago. He was building a huge tower in Colorado with federal funds. He was going to send power anywhere in the world through the atmosphere. It would have changed the world but for some reason he lost funding.:tinfoilhat: ---

They are also developing a way to shoot energy down from satellites in order to have orbiting solar fields. They were able to beam energy from a station to a helicopter 60 miles away using microwaves (not what you cook your tv dinners in people). Things like this blow my mind. ---

this is awesome. how long before we have all our cars powered by electricity that is beamed to us via satellite? Its not long now untill we just find an effective way to produce the power the world needs in a renewable form, and have it sent out to everyone. I wonder how expensive it would be to have your house converted to 100% wireless power or how they would charge you for it ---

lol of course, but how would you monitor the amount of wireless “signal” your getting? it seems like it would be very hard to have this electricity flying around for the public to tab into and being able to monitor who is using what ---

Did you people read the same article? the electricity is still pumped into your house just like regular houses. Then a box in your room or basement would send it to your electric device. it would be similar to a cordless phone. You still pay for a hard line to the house. then its cordless inside the house ---

^ he was referring to the method paulo mentioned…beam electricity via satellite. But i think we are so far away from that as a consumer application, that the method of monitoring and payment isn’t even on the horizon. they have to figure out a standard so we can charge our cellphones before we step up to full home power. That will be a really long time. ---

Super cool. I can’t help but feel in 20 years most houses will have some form of this, and in 35 years we’ll find out it gave us cancer. ---

great for portable devices and laptops etc, but kinda pointless for a TV or other objects that you don’t move around. If they can make the poles outside move electricity wirelessly then power outages are a thing of the past. ---

That will be a really long time. I did a project on this last year… trust me… how to charge people for this technology was one of the first things on the list for the companies backing the projects… your house or vehicle or whatever you have would be equipped with a meter just like normal houses. this would be read and billed just like your electricity bill at home ---

[quote=BigEd88;1268824If they can make the poles outside move electricity wirelessly then power outages are a thing of the past.[/quote] keep dreaming… more technology does not equal less problems… just different problems. You may not have lines down, but there will be new reasons for power outages. ---

we should just have power underground and not worry about power outtages due to the weather and i saw somethign on discovery channel awhile back about sending power like that [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wireless-electricity/62627.md?page=2)
