Demonstration will take place at the Grant Exhibition Hall on September 9, 2025
The Engineering Department of the Washington Institute of Technology have developed an ultra-efficient Laser Power Transmission system which converts light into electrical energy wirelessly. The system, which achieves efficiency of greater than 30% will be demonstrated in the Grant Exhibition Hall at 10 am on September 9, 2025. The public is welcome.
During the demonstration, more information about the technology will be shared.
Laser power transmission wirelessly sends energy over long distances using a laser to power a receiver, often a photovoltaic cell, without physical connections. It converts electricity into a focused beam of light, which is then converted back into electricity by a specialized receiver. LPT offers advantages such as contactless transmission, high power density, and flexibility for remote or mobile applications, including military operations and space-based power systems, but faces challenges with efficiency and potential beam interruptions.
