Letter to President about Wireless Electricity

Dear Mr. President

A dream and an idea has manifested within me that I now humbly request your consideration to employ. I wish to express this dream and idea to you, as well as, hopefully convey their potential usefulness.

The dream originates with Nikola Tesla, who demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices in 1891 and aspired to achieve intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project. Today, wireless electricity has been proven possible by the likes of many individuals, organizations, and companies. I feel we can utilize this technology to power America and countless industries; reducing dependency on foreign oil, creating jobs while cutting costs (there by growing the economy and tackling the national debt), and reducing damage to the environment.

The idea is that we invest in research and development of wireless electricity, and then reform and reinvent our energy infrastructure. The existing technology would need to be researched and improved upon in order to develop it on a larger scale. Power plants should solely use renewable energies such as solar and/or wind. The power grids would have power lines replaced with wireless signals from transmitters and repeaters attached to every telephone pole. Each home, business, commercial building, streetlamp, traffic light, or other would have receivers fixed to them.

The usefulness of this concept is immeasurable. With the current system tremendous amounts of energy are wasted in friction and logistics. Implementing a wireless system nearly eliminates this waste, thus increasing efficiency. More efficiency means less demand on the initial power source (making renewable energy practical.) Power would  be more readily available in remote areas or difficult terrain (spreading coverage). A lower cost in materials would be evident due to the elimination of expensive cables in the existing system. This could potentially be safer too. Jobs would be created to employ such a system (from researchers, to construction workers). Renewable energies would replace burning fuels decreasing an impact on the atmosphere and environment. Imagine electric cars taping into the wireless grid (eliminating the need for charging stations), or mobile phones being powered everywhere you go. This technology would nearly eliminate the need for batteries altogether.

I am confident you can assign the appropriate people to investigate the implementation of this dream and idea. Putting in place what is needed to lay the foundation. Thank you for your time. I am most grateful for your consideration. It has been an honor to share this notion with you.

Most Respectfully,
Ryan
