The energy system transition
more energy

higher civilization level
the fundamental shift in how energy is produced, transmitted, and consumed, moving from traditional, carbon-intensive sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) to cleaner, renewable, and sustainable sources like wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. This transition is driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and create more sustainable and resilient energy systems.
How It
Works
Wireless electric power transmission plays a pivotal role in the energy system transition by enabling more efficient, flexible, and sustainable power distribution. It eliminates the need for extensive physical infrastructure like cables, reducing energy losses associated with long-distance transmission and the environmental impact of traditional power grids. This technology facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources by enabling efficient energy sharing between decentralized power generation systems, such as solar panels and wind turbines, and end-users. Moreover, it can revolutionize access to electricity in remote or underserved areas, accelerating global electrification efforts. By supporting innovations in electric vehicles, smart devices, and grid modernization, wireless power transmission aligns with the goals of reducing carbon emissions and creating resilient, adaptive energy networks for the future.

Tesla Coil
A Tesla coil is a high-frequency resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla, designed to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. It creates spectacular electrical discharges like lightning and is often used in demonstrations, wireless power experiments, and educational displays.

Wardenclyffe
Wardenclyffe was a laboratory and wireless transmission station built by Nikola Tesla in Shoreham, New York, in the early 1900s. It was intended to demonstrate global wireless communication and power transmission, but the project was never completed due to financial difficulties and skepticism from investors.

Transmission
Wireless electric power transmission is the transfer of electrical energy from a power source to a device without the use of physical conductors like wires. This technology typically relies on electromagnetic fields, such as inductive coupling, resonant inductive coupling, or microwave beams, to transmit power over short or long distances.
