Russian scientists charge mobile with 1.5 kilometers – Popular Mechanics

the Russian rocket-space Corporation (RKK) “Energy” conducted an experiment to charge a mobile phone from a distance of a mile using a laser. It is reported by news Agency RIA Novosti.

On the sixth floor of the building RSC Energia in Korolev established the laser system. A target with a diameter of only 10 centimeters, connected to a charging station of a conventional mobile phone (brand and battery level at the beginning of the experiment is not specified), was at a distance of 1500 meters, on the roof of another building. Energy beams of photons released by the laser, was transformed into electrical energy, and the phone is charged. The experiment lasted about 60 minutes. How to increase the battery level, now count on the experts.

according to the company, after two or three months this technology can be used for remote charging of a small drone, and after 12 months — the big drone. Read more

Next should follow device test probes and the laser installation on the ISS. For this laser system will be delivered to the station. Its task is to inform the energy of the space truck “Progress” at a distance of one to two kilometers.

Remote ways to charge a mobile phone for modern users is not surprising. But the only commercial technology, existing today, based on wireless power transmission using electromagnetic induction according to the Qi standard. It is good shows itself in everyday life, but for the transmission of energy over long distances is not appropriate.
