ELECTRICAL ENERGY TRANSMISSION METHOD AND DEVICE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H02J17/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering; electrical energy transmission.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method used for electrical energy transmission beyond Earth atmosphere in vacuum between space vehicles or planets from Earth to space bodies and vice versa, from space to Earth, as well as from one point on Earth to another through atmosphere and space dispensing with relativistic beam accelerators and lasers includes generation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves and their transmission over conductive channel between electrical energy sources and receivers. High-voltage electromagnetic waves are generated in high-frequency resonance-tuned transformer, amplified in voltage to (0.5-100) x 10⁶ V in quarter-wave resonance-tuned line that has spiral waveguide and natural capacitor at line end by supplying electromagnetic waves from high-voltage resonance-tuned transformer to spiral waveguide input at frequency f₀ = 1-1000 kHz synchronized with voltage-wave motion time period T_k from spiral waveguide input to natural capacitor and reflected wave return to spiral waveguide input. Electrical energy is stored in natural capacitor. Conductive channel is organized by emission of streamers and production of electromagnetic radiation flow from end of needle-type conductive channel generator at resonant frequency f₀ = 1 - 1000 kHz and voltage V = (0.5-100) x 10⁶ V by connecting natural capacitor thereto.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of, and reduced loss in, electrical energy transmission.
