Mitsubishi Heavy says ground test validates wireless power transmission for space solar power systems; 10 kW sent 500m by microwave

Green Car Congress

(MHI) successfully conducted ground demonstration testing of “wireless power transmission,” a new technology presently under development to serve as the core technology of space solar power systems (SSPS). In case of microwave based SSPS (M-SSPS), the solar energy must be converted to electricity and then converted to a microwave beam.
