BEHIND NIKOLA TESLA’S former laboratory at Wardenclyffe on Long Island, New York, are some old foundations. They are all that remains of a 57-metre tower which Tesla began building in 1901 as part of an experiment to transmit information and electricity wirelessly over long distances. It half worked. As he foretold, wireless communications have had world-changing effects. But he failed to get electric power itself to travel very far.
Power-beaming, as Emrod’s process is known, has been tried before, but mainly for military applications, or for use in outer space. In 1975, for example, NASA, America’s space agency, used microwaves to send 34kW of electricity a distance of 1.6km—a record that still stands. It has never, though, been developed for commercial use.
The relays, which are passive devices that do not use any power, work like lenses, refocusing the microwave beam and sending it on its way with minimal transmission losses. They can also steer it, if necessary, in a new direction. This means that transmitter and receiver need not necessarily be in line of sight of one another.
Broadcasting powerful microwaves through the air does carry risks. Similar waves are, after all, the means by which microwave ovens heat what is put into them. Emrod says brief exposure to its beams should not cause any harm to people or animals as the power density is relatively low. Nevertheless, to avoid accidents the beams will be surrounded by so-called laser curtains. These are low-power laser beams that are not themselves harmful.
Nicolas Tesla did it before

Agora Torre de Tesla é viável 100 anos atraz não era. Interessante esta nova forma?
En unos meses, harán una serie de pruebas de la Torre Tesla, cuyo funcionamiento se conoce desde hace más de 100 años. Y lo están descubriendo ahora... Claaaro que sí.
Oh...we’re testing “new” tech are we? Half a century late but let’s go get those Z style likes
So what are the adverse effects on humans?
Someone finally perfected Nicola Tesla’s work!!!!!! I’m shocked, never thought I’d see this in practical application.
This looks frightening to me. What effect on the human body and nervous system
Yeah- a death ray!

Texas Is talking about living Ercot as their'e Electric providers We can keep them as long they agree to lower The Electric bills For everyone In texas
Not sure if the article is correct to use the term electricity to mean the flow of electrons. Electromagnetic energy is possibly the one implied there.
I recently saw 1.121 Gigawats of electricity beamed across about 2-3 miles in the sky

I guess Tesla didn't figure this out in the early 1900's, huh? No kidding... 😑

It’s called lightning ⚡️
Bill Brown did this at Raytheon 50 years ago. Klystrons microwave beams, Satellite Solar Power Systems.
🤠🤠
Awesome
