1-29. (canceled)
A wireless power routing system, comprising:
- a power beam generator configured to form a collimated power beam by adjusting a flux density of the power beam as a function of a change in one or more optical properties of at least one beam redirector operated by a switch, wherein the one or more optical properties include at least one of an index of refraction, opacity, absorption, reflectivity, an energy gap, a band gap, or a junction type;
- at least one beam redirector in communication with the switch and configured to receive the collimated power beam and direct the collimated power beam to near a point of power consumption;
- and
- at least one power storage device associated with the point of power consumption, the at least one power storage device configured to store at least a portion of the collimated power beam's energy for later use at the point of power consumption.
