 The Future of Electricity
Wireless electricity is going to the future of electricity and
connectivity

Electricity has become a part of our daily lives. Brewing

coffee, turning on the lights, charging your phone, streaming
music — all of these require electricity. But man, why does
the cord have to be so short?
Don’t get me wrong, I love it when my phone is charged —
but is there a way that I can charge my things without being
permanently attached to the wall?
Let’s be clear that having limited mobility while charging a
device is a very small inconvenience. One of the main
concerns surrounding electric cars is “they might run out of
charge when going on a night drive”.

When most people hear the phrase wireless electricity they

probably think of charging pads for your phone. However,
wireless electricity is much bigger than that. Imagine being
able to charge your phone without is being plugged in, much
less even seeing the charger in your field of vision. In the next
few years, the technology behind this phenomenon is going to
improve exponentially and create a way that many of the
world’s problems can be solved.

 The Current Problem
In developing countries, billions of people do not have access
to electricity. Not having access to electricity severely
diminishes a person’s ability to innovate and make an income.
This increases the income inequality gap and makes it harder
for people to succeed. Wireless electricity can bridge this gap
and connect the world. The World Bank states that countries
in Africa have annual outages from 50 hours to 4,600 hours.
This can be more than half of the year for some people.
Electricity is not a right but is a treasured commodity in some
parts of the world.

Progress has been very slow. Since 2013 the number of

Africans without electricity has gone from 610 million to 595
million. In 2013 roughly a quarter of Kenyans had access to
electricity; today three-quarters do. Poverty is part of the
problem. 40% of Africans live on less than $2 a day. The IEA
report notes that paying for the electricity needed to power a
few basic appliances would take a significant part of a
resident’s income. Rural areas are hit harder. In rural places,
the figure is closer to one-quarter. The annual consumption of
electricity is 518 KWh in Africa. This is the same amount of
electricity used by an individual in an Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD — example
is the U.S.) country in 25 days.

 How Beacon Electricity Is
Solving This
At Beacon, our goal is to develop Nikola Tesla’s vision of
a world using only wireless electrical towers. We will use
this to give cheaper, accessible electricity to developing
countries without the costs that come with a traditional
electric grid. To start our team will find areas in the third
world that do not have much access to electricity. Beacon
sets up the electrical tower and distributes receivers
among accessible households. These are then equipped
with electromagnetic resonance transmitters that can
supply electricity to nearby houses. This system can be
expanded and grown until everyone is connected.

We plan to implement this system in the first world first to

raise capital and test the technology. Orders will be available
Page | 4
 on our website and be on a citywide as well as on an
individual basis. This will be much cheaper than traditional
methods due to the implementations listed below. The average
electric bill in the US is around $112. We believe that using
wireless electricity we can make an electric bill 10 percent of
that. Once we have raised enough capital we will move to the
third world.

The Technology Behind This

Our infrastructure will be based on a relatively new field in
wireless electricity called magnetic resonance. We will use
both far-field, radiative techniques, and near field, not
radiative techniques. In far-field power is transferred with
electromagnetic radiation. This technique uses receivers to
move electricity. Each receiver gets electricity and gives it to
the next one. This method can transport electricity long
distances; however, electrical towers must be aimed at
receivers. Power transported with near field is transported over
short distances using magnetic induction using inductive
coupling between coils. This technology will be widespread
throughout communities so that neighbouring houses only
need a receiver and they will be able to draw in power! Our
company will use a combination of both, the initial power
plant will send out far-field beams to homes and then each
home can be equipped with a far or near field transmitter
based on its surrounding houses also purchasing electricity.

All in all, the future of electricity is being created right in front
of us. We are taking advantage of it and using it to create a
