I read this a bit ago. Hopefully all this tech eventually finds it way into aircraft.
My money “hope” is actually on smaller solid state batteries than can be recharged through the air. Similar to watt up tech and ossia.
With power over air you need less battery storage and work on keeping the battery from dropping.
Also I think best case scenario would be a massive reduction in the amount of planes flying.
High speed rail would be a better solution. Planes across seas and then rail travel on land.
If trains can get within speeds of air travel then we might be getting there.
Alas will be long dead before anything happens
power over air? 🤨
Tesla did it*.
*: terms and conditions apply. Did not actually do it.
Are you asking or ? What’s the situation here ?
They clearly are. So, care to explain what “power over air” is?
Plesse don’t let it be wireless charging…
It’s just as it sounds. Just Google power over the air.
Lots of different applications for it. Mostly it’s using some kind of wave to power devices from a distance. Currently it’s on a few watts at a few meters.
Pretty shit but actually would be useful as your phone or devices would discharge slower and you could charge at the end of the day
With planes it would be a bit different. Fuck knows how they’d manage it. But still something to look it.
Similar to wireless charging. Some countries have roads that charge electric vehicles as they drive.
This would be similar
The amount of research needed to make this technology work for the applications you are suggesting would be many times greater than the amount of research needed to just figure out better batteries. And. it would always be energy inefficient, so it would need an electricity surplus to be viable.
