Claims
- 1. A method of transmitting energy in the form of microwaves comprising:
- a. converting work and microwaves having an initial energy level into microwaves having an energy level higher than said initial energy level at a superconducting temperature at a first location;
- b. transmitting said microwaves having said higher energy level from said first location to a second location;
- c. receiving said microwaves having said higher energy level at said second location; and
- d. rectifying said microwaves having said higher energy level into useful work at a superconducting temperature at said second location.
- 2. The method of transmitting energy in the form of microwaves of claim 1 wherein:
- a. said transmitting being transmitting through the atmosphere by means of conventional energy transmission apparatus; and
- b. said receiving being receiving by means of conventional energy reception apparatus.
- 3. The method of transmitting energy in the form of microwaves of claim 1 wherein said transmitting being transmitting by means of a waveguide.
- 4. The method of transmitting energy in the form of microwaves of claim 1 including subsequently transmitting said useful work to the site of a load by conventional means.
