DARPA's Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program reached a significant milestone by successfully transmitting over 800 watts of power via laser over a distance of 5.3 miles during a 30-second test. This achievement not only highlights the potential for practical applications, such as running small appliances, but also represents a leap forward for military technology, which could benefit from power sources unconfined by traditional battery limitations. The test underscores advancements in the field of optical power transmission, far surpassing earlier attempts.
The POWER program aims to develop military tech that operates without battery constraints, enhancing battlefield operations and distance power transmission.
The recent test by DARPA achieved unprecedented wireless power transmission, showing significant advancements over previous records in power and distance.
