We use coherent beaming.
The interval between relays largely depends on topographical, regulatory, and environmental conditions.
In any case, all our systems are designed to be absolutely safe for any organic life form.
Despite initial perception (mostly driven by the 5G frenzy I presume), if you do the research you'll realise that it is the most environmentally friendly solution out there. This is how EBDs can go green! No ELF, no people or animals immersed in RF or electrocuted, no carbon emission, no cutting through forests and rivers with huge pylons and no underwater cables disturbing marine life.
I hope this addressed your concerns?

- Closi 6y agoNo underwater cables disturbing marine life, but 20% more turbines to make up for the efficiency loss!
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoAnd also 20% more gas for when it's not blowing or sunny or the dam is low. We don't have high capacity (centralised nor distributed) grid scale batteries in many places yet. What it boils down it is, even if this works, which I doubt, 20% transmission loss makes this a niche market at best.
- dredds 6y agoGiven NZ's geography, a niche like providing remote pilot projects power until cable or renewables are constructed would make the tech worth pursuing. You could back out without sunken costs or environment damage if the pilot doesn't go ahead. NZ is proposing to go fully renewable by 2030 as well as promoting higher EV targets for 2023. We already import many right-hand drive Nissan Leafs reaching their 7-year EOL from Japan, so re-purposed batteries for off-grid storage will become very cost effective in short order. Our aluminium smelter is also slated to close in a year which frees up about 10% - 15% of national electricity, and we have pumped storage for day/night loads separate from hydro. Given the political climate here, niche opportunities abound imo.
