The Cota wireless charger uses steered phased array antennas to focus a beam of microwaves on a receiver module while avoiding obstacles in the path. The inherently safe technology delivers ...

January 15, 2009 The promise of wireless electricity has been around for over 100 years. Nikola Tesla spent much of his productive life experimenting with wireless power, the familiar Tesla coils ...

The wireless power transfer was achieved by the Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment (MAPLE), an array of flexible and lightweight microwave power transmitters, ...

The power was transmitted by the Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment ... no one has ever demonstrated wireless energy transfer in space even with expensive rigid structures.

Maple, short for Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment, consists of an array of flexible, lightweight microwave power transmitters, built using custom electronic chips, to beam ...

Beam power, either microwave or laser, can be used to augment the ISP of rockets. Could be used to prewarm the fuel. The requirement is that the weight of the mechanism for collecting the power must ...

Researchers found that power could be sent to a free-flying drone via a beam of microwave radiation. The team estimated the efficiency of this process and compared it with that for a fixed ...

Wireless power transfer is similar in rough terms to wireless data transfer. There are two antennas, one that sends and another that receives. On the sending end, power is converted to microwaves ...
