It Is Power Beaming Time
SunCubes Technology pioneers Power Beaming – the new frontier of energy transmission
What is Power Beaming?
SunCubes' Power Beaming technology leverages high-intensity laser light from a secure transmitter to enable safe, wireless energy transfer across significant distances.
This precise, line-of-sight system supports versatile configurations, accommodating both stationary and mobile transmitters and receivers.
By adopting free-space power transmission, SunCubes eliminates the need for physical connections, enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of electrification processes.
This breakthrough enables operations in diverse and challenging environments while allowing unmanned vehicles to reach higher altitudes and travel longer distances without risk. Moving away from traditional power sources like generators, engines, and batteries, it enhances safety, increases capacity, and provides unparalleled freedom and mobility, free from the constraints of cables or tethers.
How It Works
Power Beaming uses a high-intensity laser to transfer energy wirelessly over long distances. A transmitter converts electricity into laser light, which is then received and transformed back into usable power by a receiver, enabling seamless energy delivery.
Key Benefits
With Power Beaming, energy transmission becomes wireless, eliminating the need for cables or physical connections. This ensures greater efficiency, flexibility, and scalability across a variety of applications, from unmanned vehicles to remote devices.
Safety & Precision
Our system features advanced safety protocols, including obstacle detection and automatic shutdown. The precision of the laser ensures secure energy transfer with minimal loss, even over significant distances.
Power Beaming Unveiled: Q&A
Is SunCubes' System Safe for Humans and the Environment?
Yes, SunCubes' system is designed with advanced safety measures to ensure it is safe for both humans and the environment. The power beam is highly directional and collimated, transmitting energy exclusively between the generator and receiver, forming a confined cylindrical path with no sidelobe emissions. The Safety System adds an additional layer of safety by surrounding the beam with a detection mechanism that identifies intrusions, such as birds or other objects, before they enter the beam. If an intrusion is detected, the system instantly shuts down the beam temporarily to prevent exposure. Furthermore, the beam's density and operational frequency are carefully designed to enhance safety for all living beings and the environment.
What is the Range of SunCubes' Technology?
SunCubes' power beaming system can transmit energy over distances of up to 1 km. This capability is made possible by a highly precise pointing mechanism with an accuracy of 1 milliradian, ensuring that the energy beam remains perfectly aligned between the transmitter and receiver. This precision guarantees reliable power delivery even over a kilometer, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
What is the Efficiency of SunCubes' Technology?
SunCubes' technology exhibits notable efficiency at various stages of energy transfer. The receiver operates at 40% efficiency, converting half of the transmitted energy into usable power, while the laser achieves 45% efficiency. Under dry sky conditions, the system reaches an impressive 95% transmission efficiency, with minimal energy loss due to atmospheric interference.
When these efficiencies are combined, the total system efficiency is approximately 17%. This means that 17% of the initial electrical energy is successfully transmitted and converted back into usable power at the receiver. While there is room for further optimization, this efficiency is a remarkable milestone in wireless power transfer technology, highlighting SunCubes' dedication to advancing and refining their innovative system.
Is SunCubes' system plug-and-play?
Yes, SunCubes' system is designed with a plug-and-play approach for seamless integration. The transmitter and receiver modules are highly adaptable and can be easily installed on drones, sensors, or other devices without the need for significant modifications. This flexibility ensures rapid deployment and compatibility with a wide range of existing equipment, allowing users to start benefiting from wireless power transfer immediately. The intuitive setup minimizes downtime and simplifies operational workflows, making SunCubes an efficient and user-friendly solution.
