Energy is critical for anything we do. Power beaming is an emerging technology that could reshape how we generate and distribute energy and how our devices and autonomous systems are powered. Today’s guest is Tom Nugent, CTO and Co-founder of PowerLight Technologies. Tom walks us through power beaming and what it might provide to both the Department of Defense and commercial industry. Tom is the author of "Power Beaming: History, Theory, and Practice", which provides a foundation needed for researchers, technology developers, and end users to understand the promise and challenges for power beaming.
