DARPA is developing a global network of lasers for wireless energy transfer.
This will be able to continuously transmit power to US military bases around the world.
This achievement was the dream of Nikola Tesla over 100 years ago.
If it can be implemented, the US military will not depend so much on liquid fuels as on cables that carry electricity. These are relatively easy targets for enemies.
The system is called POWER (Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay).
The receiver of these laser rays will receive the energy and convert it into electricity.
For this purpose, not only satellites will be used, but also drones that will send the rays to each other.
In the commercial sector, this can be applied to the transmission of power to remote areas.
It is also good that the production of this energy can be done from renewable sources.
