PROCEDURE AND GEAR TO TRANSMIT ELECTRIC ENERGY ( ALTERNATIVES ) Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: procedure and gear are meant for transmission of electric energy in vacuum, outside confines of earth atmosphere, between spacecraft or planets, from the Earth to space bodies and from space to the Earth as well as from one point on the Earth to another point on the Earth through atmosphere and space. Proposed procedure includes generation of high- frequency electromagnetic oscillations and their transmission over conducting channel between source and collector of electric energy. Conducting channel is formed with the aid of accelerator in the form of relativistic electron beam on to which high voltage of 0.3-300.00 kHz from spiral traveling-wave antenna is fed. To raise radiation safety conducting channel is formed in the form of two crossing beams, one of which is formed in atmosphere with use of laser and the other beam is formed in rarefied atmosphere and outside boundaries of atmosphere in the form of relativistic electron beam. EFFECT: increased efficiency and reduced losses of electric energy in process of transmission. 25 cl, 7 dwg
