Abstract
Apparatus, methods and systems of wireless power distribution are disclosed. Embodiments involve the redirection of collimated energy to a converter, which stores or converts the energy into a more suitable form of energy for at least one specific point-of-use that is coupled to the converter.
Claims22
A wireless power beam routing infrastructure system, comprising:
- a power beam generator configured to form a collimated power beam;
- a plurality of structural building elements, wherein the structural building element comprises one or more pathways for the collimated power beam;
- at least one redirector integrated within the plurality of structural building elements wherein the at least one redirector is configured to alter a transmission path of the collimated power beam;
- and
- a converter integrated within the plurality of structural building elements, wherein the converter is configured to convert a first form of energy from the collimated power beam into a second usable form of energy.
2 more elements
A method for routing power beams within a building infrastructure, the method comprising:
- generating a collimated power beam using at least one power beam generator, wherein the at least one power beam generator is configured to transmit the collimated light beam through one or more structural building elements, wherein the structural building element comprises one or more pathways for the collimated power beam;
- redirecting the collimated light beam using at least one redirector integrated within the plurality of structural building elements wherein the at least one redirector is configured to alter a transmission path of the collimated power beam through the one or more structural building elements;
- and
- converting the collimated power beam using at least one converter integrated within the plurality of structural building elements, wherein the converter is configured to convert energy from the collimated power beam from a first form of energy into a second form of energy.
1 more element
A method for constructing a wireless power beam routing infrastructure within a building, the method comprising:
- configuring a power beam generator to form a collimated power beam;
- assembling a plurality of structural building elements of the building, wherein one or more of the structural building elements comprises one or more pathways for the collimated power beam;
- positioning at least one redirector integrated within the plurality of structural building elements, wherein the at least one redirector is configured to alter a transmission path of the collimated power beam;
- and
- integrating a converter within the plurality of structural building elements, wherein the converter is configured to convert a first form of energy from the collimated power beam into a second form of energy.
