I saw a thread onhere a few months ago pertaining to the transmission of wireless power or energy. I can't seem to find it and would really like to have a second look at it after some more research can anyone help me find this thread ?

Tesla thought of this years ago.....

I know he did lol, I just want to find the website that showed the prototype product being designed to do such a thing. I think batman posted the link but i can't find it for the life ofme now!

Too lossy. Faggedaboudit.

too lossy? I dont understand, just because you don't think its important doesn't mean i dont want the information. I think it was Made by GE Honeywell, it had a very strange circular antennae looked almost like a flat labryinth/maze that was round.

i think i remember...let me look.....

Thanks for the link but it's not quite what i was looking for. What I saw in the post was a picture of the wireless power transmitter/receiver, it had a VERY interesting pattern which looks something like this. but seemed to be made out of copper wire encased in plexiglass or lexan.

"Austin Transformers". Basically two interconnected rings that couple current between them. As close as you're going to get to "wireless power" for now.

AM radio stations use these frequently to power the lights on the towers. The entire frame of the towers is the transmitting element, so grounding the tower for lightning and power would effectively short circuit the antenna. By using the austin transformer, the upper ring will be part of the antenna, and still isolated from teh lower "hot" ring, and current will still flow between them.

And also to keep them grounded for lightening strikes without actaully groundning the tower. Be careful around AM towers kids, it sucks when they burn you.

The more you know!

No this was using that style of antannae but on much longer distance power transmission with very little loss, much less then expected predicted by todays science.

Sounds like cars that can run on water, and 100mpg carbeurators.

Hey man, anything is possible, an if you don't believe that then please stay stuck in the past...

hate to rain on your parade, but not everything is possible.

if you ever find it koopz, post the link here. It sounds like you are saying we somehow can power wireless devices at long distances. are you saying you have seen this blog?

Yes there was a full webpage about extremely efficient ie 90%+ with no adverse sideaffects such as the EMF field cell phones produce. Some people might actually be interested in a future without power cables but I guess not seeing as the response i have seen.

I'm hoping (for your sake) that I already know the answer to this question, but did you use the search feature on this forum?

I haven't heard anything of the sort although I have to say the thought of such technology perked my interest. I believe what you are implying is exaggerated and I do have to side with the skeptics here. for something that has no side effects with 90% efficiency may only power useless devices that run under .1 volts or less. But I'm willing to admit I'm ignorant. i hope you are talking about shit that can run at least 24 volts or higher. that would be something.

Yeah, you sound like yet another idiot who tries to tell ME how engineering and physics works, even though I've been studying it for years now. Piss off. :screwyou:

Sometimes boundries have to be broken in order for new ideas to arise, im sorry if evolution has growing pains.

Boundaries are being broken all the time. But cars will still never run on water, perpetual motion cannot happen, and tesla's ideas of long range wireless power have been proven, although possible, quite unfeasible.

Not only that, but at no time did I go out of my way to insult you. Neither did I try and tell you how your physics and engineering worked. I merely said that something has been discovered that we may not be able to explain with TODAYS teaching of physics and engineering. That is why even though a man can study for years on a topic he will never truly know all the knowledge on a subject(the wisest man is, he who admits to knowing nothing). I am more proud of the people who come up with new theories for the science's then those who believe what we have now is actually all true fact.

NEVER SAY NEVER. Man can create whatever we think of it is the BEING of our consciousness.

If you believe in NEVER please... Kindly take a number and wait in lineup for the past.

No. We really can't.

Like how we will NEVER leave our solar system because we will NEVER even reach the speed of light, let alone break it, which would still be nothing compared to how fast we could have to go in order to get anywhere in the galaxy within a reasonable amount of time.

I have faith in our scientists and engineers. But I also know that some things, lots of things are impossible. Does that make me 'stuck in the past'? Hell no. I'm looking to the future all the time.. but the ATTAINABLE future, not some cockamamie ideas that people that have no experience in the field think of. My future consists of locomotives that are 50% more fuel efficient while also having a hybrid battery system so taht all of their dynamic braking doesnt go to waste. My future consists of room temperature, or at least high temperature (dry ice temperature) superconductors, therefore eliminating electrical resistance loss, which would make the whole world that much more efficient. MY future consists of nuclear fusion power reactors powering the world. All of these are feasible, but difficult challenges to face. Not crazy ideas that we know won't work.

Hutchinson effect, dowsing... name a couple things we can't explain with todays science. Do you think that just because we are good at left hemisphere logic that everything in life must be logical?

One can't actually imagine thinking outside the box because if you knew you were doing it you would be in the box.

OH jesus, whatever. Go invent the perpetual motion machine.

Space probes are leaving the solar system all the time. Just thought I would throw that out there ;)

I mean actual people. Unless you want to hitch on one of those probes for... 30 years. And then once you get out of the solar system, it'll be another few thousand before you get to alpha proxima.

I knew what you were saying, I just thought you picked a bad example to prove your point. :peace:

It's called a transformer and it works through induction. Magnetism + Motion + Conductor = Electric.

induction only travels so far.

speaking of space travel, we need to hollow out a meteor, install some hellacious power-plants, and get to Pluto in 20 minutes. I don't think we need to go light speed. just close enough without burning up the material.

Space is a vacuum.... what causes the burning-up part is the friction between the object and the atmosphere. No atmosphere = no burny-uppy. Lightspeed is a possibility in a vacuum. (But what happens when you turn the headlights on?)

Unless you have mass, becuase it would take an infinite amount of energy to get to lightspeed. And according to relativity, the speed of light is the same for all observers so... you turn on the headlights, it looks the same as if you were standing still.

eidt: oh yeah, but your perception of time would stop was well. And your mass would become infinite. So. YA know. Keep that in mind.
