The new laser power transmission technology in the United States has broad application prospects

by：Gewinn 2022-04-26

A high-tech company in Washington state is developing a laser power transmission technology recently. This new type of technology has broad application prospects and may completely replace the mode of relying on wire transmission in the future, so that people's daily life can say goodbye to wires. The company's researchers use a laser converter to convert conventional electrical energy into a visible laser beam with a rate of hundreds of watts. This beam of light travels through the air, is received and converted back into electrical energy in specialized photovoltaic cells. Using a telescope and a series of mirrors, the operator can control the direction of the laser beam. It is understood that the company's current main research direction is how to use this new laser power transmission technology to power unmanned aerial vehicles, and has achieved certain results in this regard. But the company's long-term goals are by no means limited to this. They hope that this technology can be applied to a wider range of fields in the future, such as replacing existing wire transmission modes to reduce the cost of long-distance power transmission, or powering satellites in space orbit from Earth.
