Anti Lasers?
Recently, the concept of an anti laser was foisted. A laser as we know it, emits a coherent beam of directed light energy. An anti laser on the other hand, gathers photons on its path in a causal but still coherent stream. An off the cuff analogy I can bring bear, is that of a bullet, that instead of expending its energy once it's shot out, instead hits the primer of another bullet, which sends it out to hit another primer and so on.
In theory, there should be hardly any energy loss from the time the anti laser is 'fired' to the time it strikes an object. In this case, it isn't intended to destroy the object, but more usefully, recharge it. In theory there should be almost 100% energy transfer regardless of distance. In fact, researches claim a transmittal of over 99% of transmitted energy. The technical name for this process, is Coherent Perfect Absorption, or CPA.
One wonders if other forms of radiant energy can achieve such coherence. If we think of wireless transmittal of microwave energy for instance, we can imagine a microwave stream that doesn't dissipate over time. Instead, a kind of domino structure is initiated that incorporates microwaves already transmitted naturally from other artificial or natural systems into what is theoretically, an infinite stream of power. A line of causal relationships is set up that keeps transferring a given amount of energy, until the stream is interrupted, probably by some sort of receiver.
Therefore, future power transmission might be less dependent on unleashing singular streams of force. Rather, they would rely on sending out streams tailored to interact by timing, wavelength and frequency to a given topology of potential energy interactions. In such a case, one stream would bounce against an equally powerful stream, then another, then another.
Could this be is at least partially what Tesla meant by resonant streams, near perfect transfer of power from one point to the other? Power streams that less depend on how much finite force they inject into a system as how much that force interacts with and directs other forces already present. A feature less about how far and with how much strength the beam has, as to is it just enough to send other forces down the line the way it wants them to go.
Perhaps the age of wireless transmission is closer than we think.
