Groundbreaking research transmits energy from space to Earth 

Thanks captain, they needed your input.

Yea and maybe poke the biggest hole in the atmosphere. And fry some birds as usual.

They should focus on solving real world (down here) problems. The world will be going to the toilet soon.

​@@evielknievel4972 There's already a job for every problem you can think of. If you don't like the way something is being done there's nothing stopping you from pursuing it.

We need scientology more than ever now

Taking a few steps at a time between this and AI infrastructure tbh . Love to see it

My dyson sphere broke after just 3 months, and unfortunately I was out of the return period at target. So if you need one I have one handy, doesn't work great though.

@@TheGreyLineMatters a step is still a step.

We will have to develop new materials and material synthesis methods. Then mine the asteroid fields for rare earth minerals. This will take generations but it is what we will need to even begin truly exploring and colonization of the local galaxy.

sci-fitards never learn critical thinking.. a dyson sphere is physically impossible.

Tesla did a lot of talking about wireless energy transfer but as far as people know it was just talk. I know his tech could have been hidden but as far as we know he wasn't successful. We may one day get free energy that one day causes everyone to get cancer. Every solution creates new problems and we are one scientific breakthrough away from destruction because of our limited knowledge.

Yes, and if you want the world's least efficient way to transmit power, due to the inverse square law, then YEAH - you go ahead and develop this technology. I'm sure you'll make a fortune!

"This generation shall not pass away until all these things come to pass. These are just the birthing pains. The first of Noah's cataclysmic tidal Tsunamis will be pulled out and around the planet SE to NW by the new moon with the first major conjunction of mercury and Venus in 2033 and every 40 years thereafter for the millennium it takes the earths orbits to precess between the fermie cells of the Sun's Oort cloud magnetosphere.

​@@Chris.Davies makes you wonder about Global Warming with Microwave Energy what a novel concept. More 5G Hotspots to make Life Good, LG said.😂

​@MAGnetICus_Attractus, my thoughts too... if directed microwave can heat you up it can damage cells... no matter what the representative says. He just wants the funding. We all can get cancer.🫠

Yeah, what joy. I can see more trash like Bluewalker 3. Yippee!

I wouldn't really call this much of an advance. This technology has been around for ages. Just no one has bothered to attempt a space based microwave energy transmission. Granted, new ideas and technology has made the technology more efficient. Efficient enough that transmitting it from space may be viable.

Are you a trained/educated physicist?

@@fredr3101 You bet. I teach it at a college in Az. Why do you ask?

@@resresres1 The concept is not new but just getting it to be feasible is.

Lol we have Google too

@@coronalight77 no, Buddy, you have google, we have Bing A.I

@@crazycutz8072 A fight! A fight! A Bard and a Bing! lol

I don’t think anyone was wondering… you just wanted to share that you knew something. 😂

@@georgelopez4193 Actually, _I_ was wondering. So, I went and looked it up. I figured if I was wondering, someone else might be wondering, too. Therefore, I wanted to share what I had just learned. Cynical much?

There's nothing new under the sun 🌞

That just tells me that even though this is newly released technology, it’s already over 20 years old in development. Someone must have thought about it in order for it to make it in that game all those years ago.

​@@desmondstanley4372dude, people thought about this idea simce the 60's. Science already knows how to fix lots of stuff, the problem is funding. We can end hunger and poverty right now, but there's no will to do that.

Exactly what I thought! Microwave energy.

They started saying it was from an old Asimov story.

would this be the first step in building a dyson sphere?

Uses microwaves like a microwave oven to wirelessly transmit power

Well being a 3-5 watt light bulb was enough to make a guy feel hot, imagine the 4+kw required for a house. It could power your home and melt steel at the same time.

WHY would microwave radiation affect the ozone layer?

@@reh3884 actually shooting microwaves though the atmosphere could produce ozone if I remember correctly. I don't think it would deplete it. Now cooking the guy standing on the ground... that's a real possibility. God forbid they lost control of it and it kept transmitting, it would become a WMD.

@@reh3884 i don't know too much about the atmosphere. All i know is that we're already damaging it, and I want to know if this solution is going to be less damaging than others. If you're transmitting a city worth of power from space, there's logically at least some loss to the atmosphere and i want to know if that's worse than current solutions.

@@redpug5042 I think the possibility of harvesting solar power in near future to run cities and homes without any emission of greenhouse gases is the real deal for now and I’m all in for that. However, the dissipated energy could heat up the environment more ? There is a possibility that the lost energy could radiate the existing greenhouse gases and advancing global climate change further rapidly. Correct me if I’m wrong.

It's huge and very costly.

It wont affect anything, that's why its so cool

2:06, he already felt hot in that small contraption and they plan to make a bigger one, I don't know, the Earth is already hot as it is.

@@inventorknowledge703 that transmitter is a prototype and if it is recieving energy then it can use some of that energy to cool itself and transmit out the rest. would be like a fridge sending out electricity to the rest of the house.

@@Deathwish026 Bruh, that's not how it works, Net energy gain, equals more heat. heat = energy, the problem is we need to transmit energy away from earth faster then we cause it to build up. for that we need to reduce green house gas levels in the atmosphere because they reflect the heat / energy back to earth and continue to heat the atmosphere.

I feel like money (and the potential thereof) is what writes those results... oh, and the ability to weaponize the tech. I'm pretty sure these folks aren't motivated by the possibility of bringing energy to sub-Saharan Africa.

There’s nothing wrong with our planet.

It will affect the environment, if there's too many of them.

@@niluss6 lol, nah

The only people who believe in climate change, live in big cites or are too young to have watched the tax scam evolve.

@@xploration1437 yeah, you missed the "whoa!! thats hot!!!" part, didn't you. The sheep can only see unicorn's and their biases.

it depends upon the density of the clouds. thunder storms, no.

it's possible to do it through clouds, but I don't think the prototypes they're using will make it through clouds. they mentioned they're using non ionizing wave lengths. if you want to go through the clouds I think you would need smaller wave lengths and such entering the ionizing ranges, so it would probably come with a hazardous air zone immediately about the receiver where the beam would go

The advantage of space based solar is the collection source can be beyond the Earth's shadow so that it can collect solar energy 24/7. The receiver stations on earth can be located in dry desert climates that have few clouds to maximize efficiency and then distributed from there thru transmission lines. It's a long way off if it's ever even economically viable in the first place.

@@quietus13 nope, that does not work well.... For the same reason that solar collection in those places does not work as well. How do you move the power? On wires? they lose electricity ever meter. In batteries? 1) EXPENISVE and 2) they lose power also The best idea I have heard of is using artificial fuel ( like gasoline). You use the solar power to create carbon neutral fuel and then transport it to where ever. Yes you lose energy in this process also, BUT you lose LESS then the other systems and it is cheaper as well then the batteries. Plus if we use that, then we can switch older cars to synthetic gas and help with pollution. Right now the only place trying this idea (artificial fuel) is using nuclear power. I would rather see solar used then creating more nuclear waste.

This is a huge advancement. The transmission is not the difficulty and that will likely be solved soon. Think about the touch screen on an iPhone. We though we would never be able to interact with a phone like we do now yet they created it. The transmitter is likely going to be the same. It will just take a few years to solve the issue.

'BATTERYLESS BATTERIES': (copy and paste from my files): To help power equipment in outer space: Potential endless energy source basically anywhere in this universe: a. Small aluminum cones with an electrical wire running through the center of the cones, cones spaced apart (not touching I'm thinking) but end to end. b. Electromagentic radiation energy in the atmosphere interacts with the aluminum cones. c. Jostled atoms and molecules in the cone eventually have some electrons try to get away from other electrons of which those electrons gather at the larger end of the cone, of which also creates an area of positive charge at the smaller end of the cone. d. The electron's in the wire are attracted to the positive end of the cone and the positive 'end' in the wire are attracted to the negatively charged end of the cone. e. Basically a 'battery' has been created inside the electrical wire itself, different areas of electrical potential. Basically a 'wire battery' or a 'batteryless battery', however one wanted to call it. f. Numerous cones placed end to end increases the number of 'batteries' in the wire. (In series to increase voltage, in parallel to increase amperage). * Via QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics) whereby electromagnetism interacts with electrons in atoms and molecules, one would have to find the correct 'em' frequency for the correct material being utilized for the cones. The shape of the cones could also come into play. The type and size of the wire as well as the type and thickness of the insulation between the cones and the wire would also be factors. * Of course also, possibly 2D triangles made up of certain materials with a conductor going down through the center of the triangle could possible achieve the same 'batteryless' battery system. * Plus possibly with the 2D concept, layered 2D's that absorb different energy frequencies, thereby increasing the net output.

He's talking about a massive Qi charger basically

Yeah it's always about money and not saving the earth.

@@eligebrown8998 all "alternative energy" technology is about the money - not saving earth. FYI... lol

Our just have multiple sats

This is a scam. No telecommunication authority would approve this.

I mean, it's always been possible... but why have we suddenly thought it a good idea to start putting tons of extremely high power RF beams raining down on us? We're not just talking television service transponders or something. This is like HAARP transmitters on steroids to become useful.

@@TheCool_Guy23this is worse than oil and gas. Let’s put a (his words) “heat lamp” directly onto earth. Talk about global warming. Comments here oblivious to silent contributor to the drying out of the earth and all of its inhabitants… Electromagnetic Radiation.

As always it will be for the Greediest.

as it is not ionizing then it wont damage cells and cause cancer. they did mention transmitting energy at lower levels than what you would receive from the sun. i think they said its sent through microwaves

We dont know dawg thats why they are learning about it ...

about 30% of solar radiation is reflected back into space without heating the atmosphere, and these collectors would of course prevent any sunlight which strikes them from reaching the atmosphere, so unless they're more than 30% efficient at converting that light into microwaves and beaming those microwaves out, it would be impossible for the process to result in net energy gain for the planet. when you consider that state of the art solar panels are currently less than 25% efficient and that none of the collected energy which is converted to useful work would contribute to global warming, it becomes clear that the answer to your - excellent - question is "no". the only way this could conceivably warm the planet would be if we radically increased the efficiency of solar cells, which would be a great problem to have.

@@jd35711 They were talking about providing energy at night. That would cause a net gain in atmospheric heat. How far out in orbit they would need to be to get sunlight at night (beamed down at an angle) didn't seem to be mentioned. And using rockets to get them up there in the first place, how long would they have to be operating to offset that heat/energy addition to the atmosphere.

@@ImperrfectStranger fair points - the details matter, and this video doesn't provide them (though tbf it's a network news clip, not an investor pitch or engineering conference presentation)

​@@ImperrfectStrangerand how are they going to get power at night again?

@@bonedoc4556 That was one of the claims in the video. Ask them. I can only suggest a wide expanse of transmitters well out in space. You can see the moon at night, can't you? Almost all the light coming from the moon is reflected sunlight.

Why should a cost even be factored?? Money is such an antiquated concept for World-saving technology.

The problem with your question is "How much it will cost". It doesn't have to cost anything. The monetary system is too ingrained in our brainwashed minds.

Well, one thing for sure, this is another utility driven energy distribution system, which means take from the many and give to the few. Home rooftop solar puts a little bit of money in everyone's pocket. This will take a little bit of everyone's money and put it in the pockets of a few.

@@mickael486 Nothing is truly free. Someone will have to exchange something in order for you to access this technology, at least for a time. After many years it will be making no money because someone will have thought of something better. As that happens, this will have become more widely available to the world. Those with money get everything new for a time. When it is old, the rest will have it. I'm in my mid twenties and I believe that either my children or grandchildren will see free energy for the entire world in some form or another.

@@mickael486 it has to cost what they invest doing this possible, + all the technology employed on it... Chips cost for example because there's a whole process behind it, you know how difficult is to fabricate the transistors that maje your cellphone work??? No you don't your not an Electronic engineer... Well I know, and is not just about the wafers with the Extreme UV machines that are expensive by themselves, to achieve 5 nm 4nm technologies, but also all the process of etching, polishing, etc. The design that engineers have to make to achieve maximum use of the wafers, try to optimize power area and performance somehow because one improved makes the others worse... And even the resources taken from the Earth, because yes Si is everywhere, is sand, not difficult to get should be free, but you have many chemical components in the chips, Gold, Silver, Al, Ga, In, P, Sb, As, etc. Etc. For the dopants, for the connectors, for the BEOL FEOL layers, and every other components in the chip, capacitors, some resistors, the PCB itsel is another material, most of the modern cellphones are IP65 or IP67 of protection, so the same with their technology might have some conditions to gather the beam, is not easy, therefore is not free 😋.... If it was free the Engineers wouldn't have a job and all those years of Fourier transforms and Quantum mechanics that not everyone goes through would be in vain

People still believe our Freemason history, they were doing it, along with curing cancer and other ailments, before our time. It was all removed

@@motosk8er2 It's not unfeasible if the ancients used it to power the cities here and off planet. There is only opposition to change and progress which we are all used to.

@@motosk8er2If it was feasible the amount of energy that would be in transmitted through the air is insane and unsafe. I don’t get how this stuff makes the news.

Lol exactly or all the infrastructure and hardware required to then transform that small amount of microwave energy into electricity. This is just another pipe dream green energy scam.

Three thumbs up? Gotta love the Luddites. That wheel will never work. Mechanic carriage? What nonsense!

Don't ask such uncomfortable questions ;-). People here just want their daily dose of wonderful. Any amount of knowledge that's more than almost nothing spoils it. In reality this is of course an old idea, and even studied ad nauseam, but people who don't follow this kind of things think it's something new and special - because it was presented so on this lousy, fluffy presentation. There of course always is something new in the details, but in the end this is just electricity changed to electromagnetic radiation and back to electricity. It's a very basic thing in physics - that's what for example all radio transmitters do. The system just would be placed in space (there actually already are solar panels there). The biggest problem is that this will never be profitable for utility scale production. Producing electricity is just so much cheaper on earth. It was practically a lie from the developers to show a slum during the presentation, letting people think that a system like this could one day power such places (support us - think of the poor!). Where this could help are some niche applications where other means of getting electricity are not practical. There are fewer and fewer of those, though, because of solar and wind power have become so advanced and efficient, and the less there are places where this system is needed, the more expensive every watt produced by it will be. In practice, military applications would dominate, but even military chooses the most economical solution if it does the same job. My prediction: this will never come to commercial use. It's future may have looked brighter a couple of decades ago, but now the researchers are probably just waiting when the project will be axed and they will have to find a new job. The fact that they chose to be a part of a clueless presentation like this is a sign that they are already desperate.

@@adoatero5129 ppl really are braindead, im no engineer and its obvious this whole system would have a lot of loss, require infrastructure or hardware for the conversion on ground, fully saturate lower earth orbit with big massive panels for 24/7 coverage, bombard us with microwaves etc. What frequency are they specifically suggesting to use?

It was possible fifty years ago...😢

And for all those who say something about the "unlimited" power this would tap on... and how "efficiency doesn't matter! if it's unlimited" Photovoltaic on land, comes from the sun. Wind, comes from the sun. Hydro comes from the sun. Even hydrocarbons came from the sun. And if you want to stretch it a bit, even nuclear comes from stars (already dead ones). So then... are all they unlimited? The point being that "unlimited" is irrelevant from this, efficiency in terms of investment is what matters! In short how many $ per load-watt is what matters! And that number will not magically go down if the transmission efficiency is near 0% and you have the exorbitant cost of putting things in orbit! People loves fairy tales, no doubt. Including investors...

This tech was in the magazines of the 70s, and abandoned for obvious reasons. Which means the military has been using it for at least 50 years.
