The news of Prime Movr’s Laser Power Transmission comes at a time when large entities have been making headlines for their own laser power transfer projects. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a program in place to beam power over long distances, while Star Catcher Industries is working on building an orbital power grid to transmit energy to satellites and lunar vehicles. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has also made strides in this field, recently partnering with NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) and successfully conducting experiments to transmit laser power over a kilometre.
Despite these impressive achievements, Prime Movr’s system stands out for its potential to enable a wide range of smaller wireless applications. Co-founder Parvez Rishi believes that there is a significant opportunity for startups in this field, stating, “This technology holds a lot of promise for applications such as charging remote sensors and outdoor cameras, where a tethered charging system is not practical.”
In addition to the Laser Power Transmission technology, the founders of Prime Movr are also developing a similar wireless solution using radio frequency (RF) in collaboration with the University of Kashmir’s Institute of Technology. While progress is being made in this area, the team recognizes the unique advantages of laser technology, including higher energy density and more precise targeting. This makes the technology particularly suitable for powering remote, mobile, and hard-to-reach electronic systems where traditional wired or inductive charging solutions are not feasible. The laser power transmission technology can be leveraged to power a variety of applications, such as remote sensors, outdoor camera systems, and other autonomous systems.
Co-founder Rishi comments, “We are excited to add laser technology to our collection of wireless power transfer solutions. The ability to transmit focused energy over long distances has broad appeal across several industries.”
Furthermore, when scaled-up, the technology can be paired with renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, and wave energy converters. The harvested energy can then be directly transferred to power electronic devices or stored in batteries for later use. This makes Prime Movr’s laser system an ideal solution for implementing sustainable energy technologies, without the need for wires.
