A key step on the path to Space-Based Solar Power has been achieved: a “first-of-a-kind” long-range demonstration of solar-powered wireless power transmission using a solid-state phased array transmitter located on the U.S. island of Maui (on Haleakala) and receivers located on the island of Hawai’i (Mauna Loa) and airborne.
The demonstration, achieved by Managed Energy Technologies LLC of the U.S. and sponsored by Discovery Communications, Inc., involved the transmission of RF energy over a distance of up to 148 kilometers (about 90 miles): almost 100-times further than a major 1970s power …

Mountain View, California, based Google said that it’s philanthropic arm, Google.org, has invested $10.25 million in Enhanced Geothermal Systems, or EGS. Included in the investment are funds for research into next-generation geothermal technology which will focus on geothermal resource mapping and will help to develop information about the process and to form a policy agenda for geothermal energy.
Being touted as a “breakthrough energy technology”, EGS exponentially increases the potential of geothermal energy. Traditionally, geothermal energy has relied on finding naturally occurring pockets of steam and hot wate and then tapping into …
