Is it possible to make electricity travel between 2 places with no wires?

can we send satellites to space that get electricity from sun and transmit it to earth?In wires, the EM fields that propagate at near light speed carry the energy; the electrons move (drift) slowly. A satellite collects the solar energy and converts it to microwaves (EM fields). The microwave radiation (think microwave oven) is transmitted to Earth (just like a radio broadcast), captured by a ground antenna and transformed to usable electricity.

Wont this reduce pollution. We could send energy satellites to space send electricity to Earth and use it. The pollution due to thremal power plants can be reduced.A satellite collects the solar energy and converts it to microwaves (EM fields).

Ha ha, of course! But what would it do? Other than kill stuff? Knock out electricity too?chound said:Is it possible like for eg, that a country launches a satellite for electricity. Is it possible for the beam to accidentally unfortunately hit its neighbouring enemy country?

Conducting Electricity: No Wire Transfers refers to the ability of electricity to flow through a material without the need for physical wires or conductors. This is achieved through wireless technologies such as induction, resonance, and microwaves.
Electricity can conduct without wires through several methods, including induction, resonance, and microwaves. Induction involves creating an electromagnetic field which can transfer electricity between two objects without physical contact. Resonance uses similar principles, but with a specific frequency to maximize the transfer of energy. Microwaves use high-frequency radio waves to transmit electricity over long distances.
Conducting electricity without wires has several advantages, including increased safety, convenience, and efficiency. Without the need for physical wires, there is less risk of electrocution or fire hazards. It also allows for more flexible and convenient use of electronic devices, as they do not need to be physically connected to a power source. Additionally, wireless electricity transfer can be more energy-efficient compared to traditional wired methods.
One of the main limitations of conducting electricity without wires is the distance over which it can be transferred. Induction and resonance methods have a limited range, and microwaves can be affected by obstacles and environmental factors. Additionally, wireless electricity transfer can be less efficient and may result in energy loss compared to wired methods.
Wireless electricity transfer has several practical applications, including wireless charging of electronic devices, powering electric vehicles, and powering remote sensors and devices. It is also being explored as a potential solution for transmitting electricity over long distances, such as in space or in remote areas without access to power grids.
