PowerLight Technologies is turning wireless power transmission from science fiction into science fact… with frickin’ laser beams.
Wireless power transmission has been the stuff of science fiction for more than a century, but now PowerLight Technologies is turning it into science fact … with frickin’ laser beams.
“Laser power is closer than you think,” PowerLight CEO Richard Gustafson told GeekWire this week.
This is much more than a lab experiment: Gustafson said his company, which is headquartered in Kent, Wash., is wrapping up a $9.5 million demonstration project for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
