Abstract

It is well known that the European Union accepts energy problem as one of the five vital world problems together with water, public health, agriculture, and biological diversity problems. Process of power transmission from an energy generator to an energy consumer is one of important links included into full power engineering process. A new power transmission method is discussed. It is based on focused microwave and optical electromagnetic radiation beams. This method is capable potentially to solve some traditional and essentially new engineering problems.

Keywords:

microwave and monochromatic optical radiation, focused beams of electromagnetic radiation, wireless power transmission
