PowerLight's wireless system could keep military drones flying indefinitely, or be adapted as a directed-energy system for ...

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace and PowerLight Technologies demonstrate wireless power beaming to the K1000ULE drone at Shaw AFB.

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: One of the most limiting aspects of mobile technologies is power. Smartphones barely last a day on a single charge. A plane eventually needs to land ...

On a blustery November day, a Cessna turboprop flew over Pennsylvania at 5,000 meters, in crosswinds of up to 70 knots—nearly as fast as the little plane was flying. But the bumpy conditions didn’t ...

Military researchers are now proving that drones do not always need to carry their own fuel or batteries. In recent tests, aircraft have stayed aloft while being fed energy from the ground through ...

The core of this system is its optical power beaming platform, which uses a specialized 3-dimensional photovoltaic (PV) receiver paired with an LED light source. This setup not only allows for ...
