DARPA is looking at using lasers to beam power from a ground source to distant receivers.
The biggest problem is the massive losses caused by changing laser light to electricity and back across multiple hops.
The project has the potential to advance power beaming by orders of magnitude, which could radically reshape society’s relationship with energy.
A wireless energy web could unlock power from new and diverse sources.
