Example, use a receiver to capture energy directed at the source like a satellite dish.

All right, apparently some of you that have the thought capacity of your toaster oven may have been confused. I realize what a laser beam, lightning, and the sun, etc are considered.
The real question is, has there been any sucessful test that proves you could actually capture any viable energy to use to then use in another manner? ie, run your for-mentioned toaster oven. Hope that did not trip your breaker!

Yes it is too real, here is people not only get power from a transmitter, they get power of natural radiant sources like Ionosphere, get too much kilowatts or megawatts

Yes it is. Microwave technologies enable us to send and receive various amplitudes of energy through the air. Since I am sure that you have used cellular telephones and watched television, all of which involve the transmission of information and energy over air, you know about this already.
However I am going to assume that you are asking if energy ( in the form that can power machinery such as electricity), can be transmitted through the air. That answer is also yes. However the drawback is there is no control on how this energy can be sent and received without loss due to dispersal.

Nikolai Tesla tried to try this, without lots success. the difficulty is to transmit the means in a slender beam, which does no longer cook dinner you in case you intercept it, and this is produced and converted lower back to electricity on the different end with extreme performance. the closest all of us has have been given is to levitate a type helicopter with a beam of microwaves. an electric powered motor drives the rotors. it is powered via an array of diodes which convert the microwaves to DC. If we ever get around to being waiting to regulate neutrinos or gravity waves, there's a raffle that we are going to be triumphant. Neither of those work together with count lots, so in case you walked in front of a a million gigawatt beam, it does not harm you. yet for this reason we will not generate or hit upon them o.k..

Most of my experience is with RF transmission and high power radar . To travel through space of any good distance will cost u at least 125 dB. and what u get out is nothing.

Nikola Tesla worked on this in 1899.
NASA is currently working on a "power tether" that will charge batteries in spacecraft as current is induced in the tether as the spacecraft orbits in the earths magnetic field.
All very interesting stuff!

several RFID chips use that technology, sort of. it doesnt come from a satellite. Oh yea and i think a microwave power station was built in SimCity 2000.

Yes, theoretically, its possible to do so using microwave power transmission. There is a (short) wikipedia Article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_power_transmission

sure.. why not.. light energy.. receive w/ your eyes or solar cells, sound energy, receive with your ears or microphones and many others.. like heat, microwave, only thing unsure is electrical energy.

Don't know what type energy you are talking about. Electrical and electromagnetic waves (energy) are commonly transferred that way.

Its done every day, what do you think radio waves are, they are very low power energy waves.
