What are you basing your statement on? have you actually done the math?



Indeed [1]. For context I design antennas for a living (yes including "meta-materials", AESA, and high power), so not the first wireless power transfer design I've encountered. If this is different, awesome, I'd love to read a whitepaper.

All I'm saying is I hope you have a background in EM. There's lots of stuff that sounds great in approximation and models, but breaks down in reality.

[1] G=4piA/lambda^2 - I tacked on 70% eff which is mid-high for a parabolic dish

for instance. Put in a 3 by 5 meter aperture, and bam, 40dB on the nose.

You posted personal attacks repeatedly in this thread. If you do that again we will ban you. We've had to warn you more than once about breaking the site guidelines already.

If someone else is making false claims, show how the claims are false, so we can all learn something. Don't just tell that they're false and especially not in noxious ways like this. Not only do you poison the community when you post like this, you also discredit any truth that you're trying to defend: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

Other commenters have expressed skeptical reactions while staying within the guidelines. Please be like them in the future.

By the way, the claims in the OP probably are too good to be true, because most claims are too good to be true. But if we're to have an interesting forum in the long run, people need to correct bad information by respectfully providing good information, not by bashing each other in uninformative ways. Perhaps you don't owe someone who is making false claims better (I'm speaking only of the general case here, not the OP)—but you definitely owe this community better if you're posting to it. Please do better from now on.
