Wireless power transmission: State of the art and perspectives

Abstract

– This paper deals with Wireless Power Transmission (WPT), and its main futuristic application, Space-based Solar Power (SSP). In the first part, the decisive role played by physicist Nikola TESLA in the development of electricity industry, his major concrete contributions, and his prophetic intuitions concerning wireless power are presented. The basics of the physics of the domain are also recalled. In the second part, the main experiments led until now in the domain of WPT are presented, as well as the different technical approaches available in the field. A few current applications of WPT at low power are briefly described. In the third part, a survey of the actual state of SSP projects is presented.
