Large entities have recently been in the news for their laser power transfer projects. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a programme 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 kilometre.

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. Co-founder 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”.

When scaled-up, the technology can be paired with renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic, wind turbines and wave energy converters. The harvested energy can be transferred directly to usable applications, or the energy can be transferred to batteries for later use. The Prime Movr laser system can enable the implementation of such sustainable energy technologies without being tethered to wires.
