Part 3/7:
Next, the conversation shifts to the concept of wireless power transfer, exploring the idea of transmitting electrical energy over long distances with minimal losses. The speakers mention using transverse magnetic (TM) modes, which theoretically allow for power transmission without magnetic fields in the direction of propagation—a significant theoretical advantage. This could revolutionize how we distribute electricity, removing reliance on conventional wires and enabling power delivery across vast areas.
They discuss different features of such systems, including electric and magnetic field dynamics. A notable mention is the inspiration drawn from Nikola Tesla's principles, hinting at modern adaptations of his work in AC-to-DC energy conversion and wireless power receivers.
