DK Matai: Japan Takes Lead in Wireless Power? 21st Century Global Energy Supply
Jun 14th, 2010 | Filed under HuffingPost
In the footsteps of Nicola Tesla , Japan intends to send its first solar-panel-equipped satellite into space that could wirelessly beam Gigawatt-strong streams of power down to earth, each enough to power nearly 300,000 homes eco-efficiently. A Gigawatt is what a mid-size nuclear power station produces; putting solar panels in space bypasses many of the difficulties of installing them on Earth. In orbit, there are no cloudy days, very few zoning laws, and the cold ambient temperature is ideal for causing the least amount of weathering and degradation in performance
