Chapter 1217
The device harnesses the energy that exists in the Earth's ionosphere, which is therefore so vast and virtually pollution-free that it is basically inexhaustible for humans today, and this energy comes directly from the Earth itself.
Tesla has envisaged building receiving stations like the Waldenkliff Tower in different parts of the planet, thus enabling "energy jumps" from station to station wirelessly, or even crazier, scaling up to cosmic scales and transmitting energy wirelessly from one planet to another.
The device uses the energy of the Earth's ionosphere, which is so vast and so virtually pollution-free that it is now virtually inexhaustible for humans, and this energy comes directly from the Earth itself.
Tesla has envisaged setting up receiving stations like the Waldenkliff Tower in different parts of the planet, thus enabling "energy jumps" from station to station wirelessly, or even crazier, scaling up to cosmic scales and transmitting energy wirelessly from one planet to another.
This technology, if born, would undoubtedly reduce the cost of power transmission routes and the losses caused by transmission, and would use electricity from the ionosphere.
Not only radio transmission, but also data and information transmission, for future technology in the phc ecosystem and ict field can achieve huge empowerment and its future prospects are unimaginable.
As for the current wireless charging on smartphones, it is actually still just a gimmick, a chicken feed, and the wireless power transmission portrayed by Tesla is simply two different things, wireless charging on mobile phones is still an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, and pulling away a bit won't work.
Tesla's research was killed in the cradle because he wanted people to have access to free energy, and his invention, if successful, would mean free wireless power transmission worldwide.
But free was not what the big companies wanted, and when Tesla's financier, jp Morgan, discovered his true intentions, he immediately suspended funding for his research, and the project was abandoned in 1908.
Nine years later, the Waldenkliff Tower was also demolished.
It was clear that Tesla's grand plan, if it had succeeded, would have led to the demise of other conventional energy sources, in which his investors had the greatest vested interest.
The capitalist doesn't care about the progress of human science, unless he is the one who benefits from it.
The technology might have been possible back in the day, but the experimental project was killed, Tesla himself was attacked by the capital-controlled media and did not have the required funds to restart the project in the future, and it was not realised until his death, after his manuscript was destroyed, and no one has been able to realise the technology as he did.
"So host, you are not going to develop the wireless power transmission technology?"
Hearing the system ask, Li Linfei said with a smile, "Of course I'm going to develop it, but don't get a big satellite either, you have to change to another technology system."
A hundred years ago the environment was different from today, and Li Linfei was not Tesla, Tesla was a scientific superhero and a business wastrel, perhaps it was related to his arrogant character, or perhaps he did not care about worldly material things, but it was undeniable that because of this, he was often schemed by others.
Now the circumstances are different, the people involved are different, but the dilemma is much the same.
A free global wireless transmission of energy directly from the earth itself is not something to be thought of until communalism is achieved.
Since we want to engage in this technology, the mistakes Tesla has made will not be repeated by Li Linfei.
The free energy and wireless transmission technology can be separated, simply make the wireless transmission technology out, energy first set aside.
After a few thoughts Li Linfei secretly nodded his head and said he would do it.
"System, do you have these information designs?" Li Linfei asked.
"Host, don't doubt the omnipotent system." The system retorted.
"Then exchange it, how many Godly Mansion points?" Li Linfei asked.
"This technique is an intermediate level technique, ten thousand Godho points."
"Redeem it."
Then a lot of information appeared in Li Linfei's mind, and then Li Linfei quickly sorted it out and went straight to the First Research Institute.
What about this technology, it still couldn't be done by Li Yi and their robot, and Li Yi didn't have the time, so these core technicians on the periphery of the institute could do it.
As long as the technology and equipment, they can complete.
......
Over a hundred years ago, Tesla could have been the richest man in the world at the time, as the inventor of alternating current, and within a year, could have become the richest man in the world on patents.
But he chose to develop it for free to society. And he himself died in great debt before he died in poverty, dying in poverty and almost forgotten by the world.
With nearly 1,000 famous inventions in his lifetime and having politely declined the Nobel Prize 11 times, Tesla was so eccentric in his demeanour and ahead of his time in his research that it could be argued that the current wireless charging technology for mobile phones is something he played with over a hundred years ago.
No one could understand what he did, and with the ability to be strong and single for 86 years, he refused to date a lady.
The prototype of the mad scientist is him. If Nikola Tesla dedicated his life to the scientific cause of mankind, Li Linfei is not as noble as him, or even all the way.
Tesla with his huge debts, Li Linfei the richest man in the world.
Tesla was single all his life, Li Linfei played the game with flying colors.
Tesla's love is scientific inventions, Li Linfei's love is worldly life.
Tesla's love is scientific inventions, and Li Linfei's love is the worldly life. They are completely different people, but even if they are not on the same path, they can still do the same thing.
We can change the world even if we are not on the same side.
But science and art are the same, they both need to be underwritten by capital.
If Nikola Tesla had figured this out, his achievements might have been even more impressive, and there might have been a Tesla family, a Tesla consortium, in America.
But there are no what-ifs in this world.
Perhaps it was because he was dismissive of the mundane, even arrogant about it, but even though he was known as the "superman of science", he was still a flesh-and-blood mortal in the mundane world.
How can a mortal be above the mundane? Tesla was undoubtedly a great scientist and inventor, but there was no way that Yehua could learn from him, especially with regard to his secular ideas.
It is said that Tesla slept only two hours a day, and if this is true, it is hard to imagine how he lived to be over 80 years old in those days.
Chapter 1218
Wireless power transmission is an 'old technology' that pioneers have been playing with for over a hundred years. Its characteristic is the variable nature of point-to-point transmission, which avoids many of the problems associated with wired power.
The two main types of technologically mature wireless transmission in the world today are 'electromagnetic induction' and 'resonant'.
The first type, electromagnetic induction, is similar to the transformer principle commonly used in power systems. Products that currently use electromagnetic induction to transmit electricity include small portable electrical products such as electric toothbrushes, mobile phones and cameras, which are charged wirelessly by a charging base.
The smartphone wireless charging gimmick is actually this, working on the principle that the electrical energy transmitting coil is installed in the charging base and the receiving coil is installed in the electronic device.
The second type of resonant wireless power transmission is similar to the principle of wireless communication, where the electromagnetic waves of the resonant circuit at the transmitter end openly diffuse the entire space in all directions and the circuit at the receiver end resonates at a specific frequency, thus enabling the transmission of energy.
But its existence of electromagnetic radiation, the greater the transmission power, the greater the distance, the lower the efficiency, and the more serious the radiation.
And Li Linfei decisively discarded these two technical means at the forefront of current research, not even improving on them, as they were not very useful.
What he chose was a brand new wireless transmission technology terahertz coupling resonance principle. The central technical point is terahertz!
It is said that Nikola Tesla had a superb memory, could memorise entire books and recite them at will, could envisage the entire device in his brain and then construct it without writing anything down.
Nowadays, Li Linfei has the same ability, and he has a more powerful holographic assistance system than Tesla, which can undoubtedly greatly improve the efficiency of technology development and shorten the time period of a development.
To develop a wireless power transmission device based on terahertz-coupled resonance technology, there are many technical points that need to be taken care of, and it is not an exaggeration to say that taking care of this wireless power transmission device would allow Li Linfei to win several Nobel Prizes from it.
In fact, the technological breakthrough in the application of tinene materials, here contains the Nobel Prize level of technological breakthroughs, and the scientific community for Li Linfei to win the prize is increasingly high, but the Nobel Prize selection body is still relatively prudent, many scientific and technological breakthroughs, it may take more than a decade or even longer to be recognized to assess the prize, the Nobel Prize in the field of natural science is still very authoritative.
As for the economics prize, the peace prize and so on to see it.
One more thing that makes the Nobel Prize institution a bit helpless is the lack of interest in the Nobel Prize from all sides even look at, Li Linfei.
......
Terahertz coupled resonance technology, in which there are too many technical gaps.
The first one is terahertz thz, in the electromagnetic spectrum there is a section of the vacuum that has not been effectively understood and used by humans, its frequency range of 100ghz10thz, located between microwave and infrared radiation, the so-called "terahertz gap".
Terahertz has different names in different fields in the early days, in the field of optics it is called infrared, in the field of electronics, it is also called sub-millimeter wave, super microwave, etc.
If Li Linfei wants to engage in terahertz coupled resonance technology, he first has to fix the technical point of terahertz.
There is no institution or material company that can make a high power portable continuously adjustable and low cost thz emitter source and a filter that meets realistic requirements, and there is also no passive detector that can directly detect terahertz rays at room temperature.
If Li Linfei wants to use terahertz, he has to come up with these.
And wireless transmission must use terahertz electromagnetic waves, other wave frequency radiation is more or less harmful to the human body, but terahertz releases very little energy and does not produce harmful light call ionisation in the human body.
Therefore, compared to x-rays, terahertz radiation can only enter people's lives in a real sense.
Who would dare to use them otherwise? Products that cause enormous radiation damage to the human body are not even likely to be marketed.
The intensity of electromagnetic waves decays exponentially with distance, the higher the frequency, the greater the damage, the lower the frequency, the smaller the energy of the electromagnetic waves, the penetration of the human body absorbs little energy if not enough to make the electrons of molecules or atoms ionised, there is almost no damage.
But like x-rays, there is an ionizing effect, long-term exposure will damage the electrical properties of cells, so that cells find destruction, lesions, cancer. This is because water absorbs electromagnetic waves greatly.
And the human body has 70 water, but the amount of electromagnetic radiation in the air is very small. Some bands of electromagnetic waves, such as the very hot terahertz electromagnetic waves, are similar to the only vibrations of organic matter and macromolecules in the human body, and the amount of radiation is small and almost harmless, and is undoubtedly an excellent choice for wireless power transmission.
Terahertz coupled resonance this new method of wireless power transmission, i.e. the tunneling effect of electromagnetic energy.
In the terahertz band, a horn waveguide generates an attenuated electromagnetic wave, and if the receiving waveguide supports the correspondingly efficient electromagnetic wave mode, the attenuated field propagation mode, energy is transmitted from one medium to the other in a tunneling manner.
In other words, attenuated wave coupling is a concrete manifestation of the tunneling effect in the electromagnetic field.
Essentially, the process is the same as the quantum tunneling effect, except that electromagnetic waves replace the wave function in quantum mechanics.
This is terahertz resonant inductive coupling, which differs from ordinary electromagnetic inductive coupling in that it uses a single layer of coils with a flat capacitor placed at each end to form a resonant circuit to reduce energy wastage.
Li Linfei sent a list of all the equipment needed to the purchasing department, and then asked them to ship all the materials they bought to the Institute.
A week passed quickly and all the materials and experimental equipment required by Li Linfei were prepared by the procurement department and handed over to the terahertz coupled resonance research team of the Institute.
Terahertz-coupled resonance technology is a complex set of technology system, each research team only got the partial manufacturing task of it, for other modules know nothing.
Technical confidentiality issues Li Linfei naturally will not ignore, on the other hand, there is also a team is working on part of the patent registration issues, to commercialize is unable to bypass this link, do not build a patent barrier will lose a lot of money.
If the real core technology cannot even be copied, then of course there is no need to get a patent.
