What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wireless Transmission Of Electricity And Development?

Register to read the introduction… In spite of this he had made numerous experiments of high quality to validate his claim of possibility of wireless transmission of electricity (Fig.2). But this was an unfortunate incidence that people of that century was not in a position to recognise his splendid work otherwise today we may transmit electricity wirelessly and will convert our mother earth a wonderful adobe full of electricity.

Fig.1. The 187-foot Wardenclyffe Tower (Tesla Tower) in 1903.
This was to be the first broadcasting system in the world. Tesla wanted to transmit electricity from this Tower to the whole globe without wires using the Ionosphere. The source of the transmitted electricity was to be the Niagara Falls power plant[1].

The modern ideas are dominated by microwave power transmission (MPT, Figure 3) called Solar power satellite to be built in high earth orbit to collect sunlight and convert that energy into microwaves, then beamed to a very large antenna

on earth, the microwaves would be converted into conventional electrical power.

The concept looks to be costly initially. The investment cost of Tesla Tower was $150,000 (1905). In terms of economic theory, many countries will benefit from this service. Only private, dispersed receiving stations will be needed. Just like television and radio, a single resonant energy receiver is required, which may eventually be built into appliances, so no power cord will be necessary! Monthly electric utility bills from old-fashioned, fossil-fuelled, lossprone electrified wire-grid delivery services will be optional, much like “cable TV” of today. In the 21st century, “Direct
TV” is the rage, which is an exact parallel of Tesla’s “Direct
Electricity.”

IV. ADDITIONAL REMARKS
Many concepts, research papers, patents are available on wireless transmission of electricity but most research work were carried out in isolation, so it needs a joint collaborative efforts to get a very useful results on this advanced technology on power transmission for the benefit of mankind globally in future. Whatever the future may bring, the universal

application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming. With the opening of the first

    The telegraph has been simultaneously developed both in the United States and Britain by Morse and Cooke. From the beginning, there was lack of connection between scientists of British and America. While British scientists are still puzzled with how to transmit the messages through a long wire, Henry - an American physicist already finds out all it need is "a large number of small batteries connected in a row, rather than a single large battery"(Standage). But when the idea of transatlantic telegraph is proposed, the United States and Britain have created a strong collaboration to make it…

    Tesla and Edison During the late 1890s the inventions of two great minds, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, helped turn electricity from a scientific concept into a household amenity. In this paper, I will review both of these men’s lives, give an overview of their accomplishments, and go over how these accomplishments still have an impact today. Nikola Tesla was born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. A bright child with an almost photographic memory and an aptitude for problem-solving, Tesla was inventing as early as 5 (Cheney 7) and in school he excelled in both mathematics and languages, including German, English, and French (Cheney 14).…
