Can electricity be transmitted using Concentrated beams without using wires with no energy lost in the process?

In summary, it is possible to transmit electricity using concentrated beams without using wires and without losing energy. This method has been used in the invention of the cathode ray tube. Another method is through wireless power transmission, which involves using electromagnetic radiation such as microwaves to transfer energy and converting it back to electricity.

I would guess that if the electrons were completely free to move (i. e. not in a conductor), they would repel each other so it would not be a concentrated beam after a short amount of time.
But you could use some sort of electromagnetic radiation (microwaves maybe) to transfer the energy, and convert it back to electricity later.

Here's a general article on wireless power transmission as I bet that's what you are really curious about

1. How does transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams work?
Electron beams are used to transfer electricity without a physical medium by creating a stream of high-speed electrons that can be directed and controlled using electric and magnetic fields.
2. What are the advantages of transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams?
Transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams allows for more efficient and precise transfer of energy, as well as the ability to transfer electricity over long distances without significant energy loss.
3. Is transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams safe?
Yes, transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams is generally considered safe as long as proper precautions and regulations are followed. The high-speed electrons used in this process do not pose a significant risk to humans or the environment.
4. Can transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams be used in everyday applications?
At the moment, transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams is mostly used in industrial and scientific settings. However, as technology advances, it may become more feasible to use this method for everyday applications such as wireless charging for electronic devices.
5. Are there any limitations to transferring electricity without a medium using electron beams?
One limitation of this method is that it requires a vacuum environment to prevent the electrons from colliding with air molecules. Additionally, the equipment and technology needed to generate and control electron beams can be expensive and complex, making it less accessible for widespread use.
