I was wondering how the 70% efficiency compares to copper. I assume copper isn't 100% efficient, but how efficient is it? Thanks for answering questions here!

- RobLach 6y agoCompared to this, extremely small, but compared to the overall economics, quite significant. Here is a chart of transmission losses from the source to the end user across US states: http://insideenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/State_Losses.png http://insideenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/State_Los...
- Emrod 6y agoEnd to end efficiency is absolutely critical for making any wireless power endeavour viable. Beyond delivery loss, don't forget that there are other CAPEX/OPEX considerations. For example, an underwater cable from an offshore wind-farm might be a more efficient means of energy delivery but it's installation and maintenance cost would be much much higher and require more time to deploy than a wireless solution. That is inevitably a significant part of any economic benchmarking.
