SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of transmitting electricity using concentrated electron beams without wires, highlighting the inherent challenges such as electron repulsion in free space. Participants suggest that electromagnetic radiation, particularly microwaves, could serve as an alternative method for energy transfer, allowing for conversion back to electricity. The conversation also references the historical context of the cathode ray tube as a related technology. Additionally, links to articles on wireless power transmission provide further insights into the topic.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of electromagnetic radiation principles
- Familiarity with electron behavior in free space
- Knowledge of wireless power transmission technologies
- Basic concepts of energy conversion and efficiency
- Research the principles of wireless power transmission using microwaves
- Explore the physics of electron beams and their applications
- Study the efficiency and limitations of energy conversion methods
- Investigate modern applications of cathode ray technology
Researchers in electrical engineering, physicists exploring energy transmission methods, and technology developers interested in wireless power solutions will benefit from this discussion.

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.
