1975 NASA JPL Goldstone Demo of Wireless Power Transmission

The June 5, 1975 NASA JPL Goldstone Demonstration of high power long distance wireless power transmission successfully transmitted 34kw of electrical power a distance of 1.5km at an efficiency of greater than 82%. At the time, it was the world record for high power long distance wireless power transmission, and it may remain the world record yet today.

Tesla was ruined for greed. just like many genius' today

pppsshh, nasa, nasa sucks, ummm nickola tesla did a full 5kw around the world with a 95% efficency wirelessly via the ionosphere

This technology needs to be applied to rocketry. Specifically as a catalyst and maximization tool enabling Solid Rocket Boosters using aluminized or other metallic propellent formulas by applying voltage such as this during the ascent directly into the rocket nozzle suppling continuous high voltage to radically reformulated heavily metallic solid rocket propellents , much less reliant upon less uniform traditional high explsives components now found in most SRB's ?

@grdja83 Tesla was very real and he did get shafted even though our world is currently based on his sweat and blood. Read the man's words for yourself instead of spatting out uninformed opinion. I bet you do not even understand how AC current is generated, enters your house, and how your computer utilizes it.

Enough with Tesla myths and fairytale, its boring, its been boring for a long time now. Go hunt for Bigfoot or whatever...

hot damn! nasa=never a straight answer.

@okwoode Or Goldstone COULD be a reference to the ghost town of Goldstone, which was founded during the gold rush.

@CitizenCS I enjoy my poultry nice and krispy.

HAhahaha, I present to you... Doctor Dickerd Dickerdson.

@DarthPickley The frickin' wind generators are killing birds and bats at a fantastic rate.

This is the technology used to beam Solar Power down from collection platforms (satellites) in space. There is another demo where a guy stands in the beam for a few minutes and he's just fine. He lived to be 81. So don't worry about birds and airplanes. It's part of the solution that will save our country.
