Collaboration Between Founders In The US And India Yields Innovations In Laser Power Transmission

(MENAFN- GetNews) Prime Movr introduces compact wireless energy transfer system with the help of parters in India

Prime Movr LLC is proud to introduce its groundbreaking laser power transmission system, developed in cooperation with INFRGY whose partners are primarily in India. The companies developed a system which converts the energy from laser beams into electricity, which can then be used to power devices without the use of wires.

The combined venture is an international effort – with members from the US, India, Japan and the Philippines. INFRGY is developing a similar wireless technology using radio frequency (RF) instead of lasers. Working with the University of Kashmir's Institute of Technology, they aim to expand the system. While development with RF goes forward, the partners realize that laser technology offers several unique advantages, including higher energy density and more focused targeting. These advantages make the technology particularly well-suited for powering remote, mobile, and hard-to-access electronic systems where traditional wired or inductive charging solutions are impractical. The laser power transmission technology can be leveraged to power applications such as remote sensors, outdoor camera systems, and other autonomous systems.

INFRGY co-founder Parvez Rishi commented:“We are happy to work on wireless power transfer using lasers. The ability to transmit focused energy over a longer distance should enable many new applications.”

Large entities have recently been in the news for their laser power transfer projects. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a program to beam power over long distances, while Star Catcher Industries is focused on building an orbital power grid to beam energy to satellites and lunar vehicles. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has announced a partnership with NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), and has conducted experiments to transmit laser power over a kilometer.

While Prime Movr's system is dwarfed by these much larger systems, the company hopes its technology can enable a wide range of smaller wireless applications. Parvez Rishi feels that the field is wide open for hungry startups. He states:“This technology holds a lot of promise for applications such as charging remote sensors and outdoor cameras, where a tethered charging system is not practical. We are just at the starting point for what's possible.”
