Abstract
Provided is a system for point to point wireless power transmission including: a plurality of autonomous and semi-autonomous unmanned systems configured as a mobile transmitting and/or receiving power station, through which unmanned systems can navigate, maneuver, beam ride, and recharge from point to point. Provided is a method of adapting unmanned systems to receive and transmit power point-to-point amongst themselves. The method includes controlling a swarm formed from a plurality of autonomous synchronized unmanned systems to form a larger transmitter and receiver for a mobile power station.
Claims35
A system for energy transfer comprising:
- an autonomous first device having a first energy transceiver for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic energy;
- an autonomous second device having a second energy transceiver for transmitting and receiving the electromagnetic energy;
- wherein the electromagnetic energy passing between the first device and the second device forms a plurality of wireless energy transfer beams between the first device and the second device;
- and
- an autonomous third device having a third energy transceiver for receiving and converting the electromagnetic energy into an energy supply when the third device is within the wireless energy transfer beams.
A method for wireless energy transfer comprising:
- transmitting electromagnetic energy by a first device having a first energy transceiver;
- receiving the electromagnetic energy by a second device having a second energy transceiver,
- wherein the electromagnetic energy passing between the first device and the second device forms a plurality of wireless energy transfer beams between the first device and the second device;
- and
- positioning a third device within the wireless energy transfer beams, the third device having a third energy transceiver for receiving and converting the electromagnetic energy into an energy supply.
