In 1900 year Nikola Tesla received U.S. patent No. 645 576 on the technology of wireless transmission of electricity

The Tesla experiments in this area still shrouded in mystery, meanwhile, in various embodiments, this technology has been used for many decades now. Largely, thanks to the research of the great Serb.

In his experiments Tesla used electrostatic induction, where the electric field was created due to the charge plates of an alternating current of high frequency and high potential. The capacitance between the two electrodes and the powered device is formed the potential difference. Electrical energy, transmitted through electrostatic induction, Tesla used, for example, to make it work wireless lamp.

But his plans were much grander – world Wireless System. The goal of Tesla combined transmission of energy by radio and directed wireless communication, which would allow to get rid of numerous high voltage power lines and electric Sodeistvie Association, generating on a global scale. Here he, of course, hurry, and the first element of the system, tower Vanderlip, has remained unfinished.

 

However, many associate the phenomenon of the Tunguska meteorite with the Tesla experiments in the tower of Vanderlip. According to this version, the destruction in the forest were caused by" short circuit" between the charged atmosphere and the land. The truth, how Tesla managed to transmit this amount of energy at that distance, it remains a mystery.

But aside from conspiracy and back to technology, one can see many interesting:

In 1964 year was shown a model helicopter, which would be fed remotely from a microwave beam.

In 1975 and 1997 years of successfully completed experiments on the transmission of several tens of kilowatts of power at a distance of about one kilometer.

In 2008 year proposed Bombardier PRIMOVE – a powerful system of wireless power for use in trams and railway engines, light-duty.

In 2008, Intel successfully reproduced the experiments of Nikola Tesla 1894 year groups and John brown 1988 of the year by the wireless energy transfer to the luminescence of incandescent lamps.

In 2009 year the Wireless Power consortium, announced the imminent completion of the new industrial standard for low power inductive chargers – the same Qi wireless charging for smartphones, which is now being distributed in the market. In the same year, Haier Group has introduced the world's first completely wireless LCD television, based on the research of Professor Marina Salacia on wireless energy transfer and wireless home digital interface (WHDI).

In 2013 year in South Korea was successfully tested wireless OLEV train system. Now it is prepared to enter the market.

 

This is only part of the variants of realization of technology, developed by Nikola Tesla. And although there is no reason to believe, soon we will finally get rid of wires, research in the field of wireless transmission of energy will certainly determine the future of technology, energy and humanity.
