Wireless Transmission of electricity
Abstract:
In this paper, we present the concept of transmitting power without using wires i.e., transmitting power as microwaves from one place to another is in order to reduce the transmission and distribution losses. This concept is known as Microwave Power transmission (MPT). This paper is mainly concentrated on : i) The most popular concept known as Tesla Theory, ii) The microwave power transmission(MPT) called Solar power satellite, and iii) The highly efficient fiber lasers for wireless power transmission. The output microwave power ranges from 50 W to 200 W at 2.45 GHz.

KEYWORDS: Microwave Power transmission (MPT), Nikola Tesla, Rectenna, Solar Power Satellites (SPS), Wireless Power transmission (WPT)

INTRODUCTION:
Human beings are well accomsisted with the electrical and the components .we may live without having food and shelter but we can’t live without electricity. We the humans are efficient in production, but are not as much efficient in transmitting .The percentage of loss of power during transmission and distribution is approximated as 26%. The main reason for power loss during transmission and distribution is the resistance of wires used for grid. The efficiency of power transmission can be improved to certain level by using high strength composite over head conductors and underground cables that use high temperature but, the transmission is still inefficient. According to the World Resource Institute (WRI), India’s electricity grid has the highest transmission and distribution losses in the world – a whopping 27%. Numbers published by various Indian government agencies put that number at 30%, and greater than 40%.

WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION:
Nikola Tesla he is who invented radio and shown us he is indeed the “Father of Wireless”. Nikola Tesla is the one who first conceived the idea Wireless Power Transmission and demonstrated “the transmission of electrical energy without wires" that depends upon electrical conductivity as early

    The Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi is commonly credited as the Father of the Radio as he was the one who brought the parts together and promoted wireless telegraphy (Regal). 3. However, Nicola Tesla was a major contributor to the invention of the radio transmitter (Regal). a. He developed the “Tesla Coil” which was the beginning of the type of high-voltage alternator needed for continuous-wave radio communication (Regal).…

    Antenna works as receiver. The receiver is a nearby loop of wire containing a second spark gap. Such a receiver loop, placed several meters from the transmitter, has its own effective inductance, capacitance, and natural frequency of oscillation. When transmitter creates electric signal using spark gap with it gains frequency. Sparks were induced across the gap of the receiving electrodes when the receiver’s frequency was adjusted to match that of the transmitter.…

    Politics first began working their way into wireless electricity in 1905, when J.P. Morgan pulled all of his funding from Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower project when he erroneously began to believe that it could lead to free electricity for all (Haliburton, 2006). It is that same type of thinking that has helped to keep wireless electricity out of the mainstream for so long. However, information and general knowledge about wireless electricity has come far, and that type of thinking is quickly disappearing.…

    Tesla invented everything we associate with radio; antennas, tuners and related. (Wilson, Tracy V. How Stuff Works) Tesla built on these discoveries and inventions to create the first wireless remote control boat, fluorescent and neon lights which he actually bend into letters, wireless bulbs that were lit by energy from the earth, and an AC power plant that harnessed the hydroelectric power of Niagara Falls. He even had a hand in the creation of robotics. His system of delivering power to homes and businesses using AC overpowered the DC power promoted by his former employer Thomas Edison. Till this day we still receive AC power in our homes. By the time Tesla died in 1943 his inventions and discoveries had made much of our current technology…

    For many years, solar energy has been the economic choice for use in many industries where power is required at remote locations without government subsidy, as the vast majority of systems used require little electrical power. Solar energy is frequently used to power transportation signals. For example, offshore navigation buoys, lighthouses, and at an increasing rate traffic warning signals are using solar power due to its power saving efficiency. Solar power’s greatest benefit here is that it is highly reliable and requires little maintenance so it is ideal to use in places that are hard to access.…

    Inspired by Heinrich Hertz’s experiments on radio waves, Guglielmo Marconi, a twenty-two year old man in Italy, experimented in his parent’s attic until he created and later patented the first radio, which could transmit radio waves a little more than a mile away. Marconi then traveled to England, where his invention could be more easily funded, and although his radio equipment almost got destroyed by suspicious customs officers in Dover, Marconi was able to create a radio that transmitted Morse code signals almost four miles away. Many credit Guglielmo Marconi as the inventor of the radio; however, Marconi’s invention would have been successful without Nikola Tesla, an engineer behind the early development of the technology needed to build…

    The CETS, which has been used to transfer up to 5 kW across a 10-mm gap, employs high-frequency magnetic coupling and enables plug-in power connections to be made in wet or hazardous environmental conditions without the risk of electric shock, short circuiting, or sparking. Energy may be transmitted without the necessity for accurately manufactured “plug-and-socket” mechanisms and may be transmitted from source to load, even when there is relative motion. Load-source voltage matching may be made inherent to the system.…

    Satellite Networks.

    For three decades, satellite communications have been used for public switched telephone network (PSTN) and video broadcasting applications. However, with daily technology advancements made in society and the requirement for global data connectivity, satellites are increasingly being used to provide data communication links at all data rates ranging from 64 Kbps to 155 Mbps (Buchsbaum). Wireless technology allows data to be sent out into space to a satellite and back to earth to provide connectivity among many different network clients. The network can be designed to reach geographically remote sites, where installing land-based lines is not feasible. The only restriction is that the footprint of the satellite must match the area it covers. Satellite networks can use either Ku-band satellites, which use a 3-meter dish (this type of satellites used most commonly for cable television broadcasting) transmitting at 1 GHz, or Ka-band satellites, which uses a 1-meter dish (used less commonly for television broadcasting) transmitting at 2.5 to 3.5 GHz (Shelly).…
