Well, supposedly Tesla developed a way to transmit power through the air, but it did have three big problems
As so much power is not going to a specific user, there's tons of waste.
As there's no way to monitor usage, there's no way to assess payment.
All those transmissions of electricity would amount to a vast rise in the amount of microwave radiation in the environment, with obvious and regrettable results.

convinced yet in especially a lot all circumstances it would contain replacing the electrical energy to a unique variety and back back. Over short distances the glaring and simplest decision in electromagnetism i.e. a transformer the position electrical energy is converter to a magnetic field in a coil and through this field to a unique coil in close proximity to it, it really is likewise waiting to move with the help of low density resources alongside the way i.e. air/water/plastic etc. even if as magnetic fields use up promptly with distance between the coils its no longer a lot use for distances more beneficial than some mm. For longer distances the electrical energy would nicely be switched over to micro or radio waves even if it really is complicated to concentration the ability to over receiving aspect. easy mild and a photo electric powered cellular to acquire would nicely be used interior a similar way yet suffers from a similar situation of scattering and dissipation. The logical awnser stands out as the person of laser mild because it really is thoroughly concentrated and doesn't be dissipated. intense powered lasers interior the area of various KW are commercially obtainable, they have adequate ability to scale back metal and would quite conceal distances of thousands of miles with minimum dissipation. The trick will be replacing the laser mild back to apply complete electrical energy at the different end, i do no longer understand if a laser mild version of the picture electric powered cellular exists, even if heating gasoline or water to stress a turbine and alternator at the different end would generate your electrical energy, even if there will be losses of a minimum of 60%. the in worry-free words down area is that if an merchandise were to come back into the direction of a laser of this ability it really is maximum probable to be seriously damaged!!

They exist. You can beam microwaves, w/o "regrettable consequences"
You can also use light. Photonics Spectra had an article on this several months ago. The concept is not new, but the enabling technologies are coming to exist.

you are referring to Broadcast Electricity and so far it cannot be done except on a very small scale, not sufficient for any practical use.
