FOR ACTIVISTS

DEAR WORLD CHANGERS,


THERE ARE MANY EMOTIONS AND CHALLENGES WE FACE ON A DAILY BASIS.


THIS SECTION IS FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM OTHERS SO YOU CAN GROW AND BECOME BETTER

This section is for all things DARPA.


Here is a list of 10 things that they created according to Copilot.

Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) 😎 LASER TO ELECTRICITY


ACCORDING TO COPILOT:


POWER Program Overview

  • Objective: Beam energy wirelessly using lasers, bypassing traditional fuel logistics and infrastructure.

  • Use Case: Deliver power instantly to remote or contested environments—battlefields, disaster zones, or even space platforms.

🔬 Recent Milestone: PRAD Test

  • Test Name: POWER Receiver Array Demo (PRAD)

  • Location: White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico

  • Achievement:

    • Beamed 800 watts of laser power over 8.6 km (5.3 miles) for 30 seconds

    • Transferred over a megajoule of energy during the campaign2

🧠 How It Works

  • Transmitter: Emits a high-powered infrared laser beam.

  • Receiver:

    • Compact aperture captures the beam.

    • Parabolic mirror reflects it onto dozens of photovoltaic cells.

    • Converts laser light into usable electricity with ~20% efficiency at short range3

🚀 Strategic Advantages

  • Rapid Deployment: Receiver built in just 3 months by Teravec Technologies

  • Scalability: Can be integrated into UAVs or orbital platforms.

  • Atmospheric Challenge: Test was conducted through the densest part of the atmosphere—proving robustness under harsh conditions3

📈 Next Steps: Phase 2 and Beyond

  • Vertical Transmission: Beam power upward/downward where atmosphere is thinner.

  • Relay Networks: Use airborne or orbital relays to extend range and precision.

  • Ultimate Goal: Deliver 10 kW over 200 km using integrated relays by Phase 3

🍿 Fun Fact

  • To celebrate the milestone, the team used the beamed energy to make popcorn, a nod to the movie Real Genius


Imagine a network of ground-based laser towers and airborne or orbital relays that form a dynamic energy web, capable of beaming power precisely where it’s needed. Let’s break it down visually and tactically:


🔭 How the POWER Network Would Work

🧱 1. Ground-Based Laser Transmitters

  • Location: Secure bases, ships, or mobile platforms.

  • Function: Fire high-powered infrared lasers into the sky.

  • Tech: Adaptive optics and beam steering to maintain precision over long distances.

🛰️ 2. Airborne or Orbital Relays

  • Platforms:

    • High-altitude drones or balloons (e.g., stratospheric platforms)

    • Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites

  • Function:

    • Receive laser energy from ground stations.

    • Redirect it to other relays or directly to receivers.

  • Advantage: Bypasses terrain, weather, and line-of-sight issues.

3. Receivers (End Users)

  • Types:

    • Tactical drones

    • Remote sensors

    • Mobile command posts

    • Survival bunkers or autonomous fallback zones

  • Tech: Photovoltaic arrays tuned to the laser wavelength.

  • Output: Converts laser light into usable electricity—on demand.
