I am Vice President of a 501-c(3) tax exempt group (Moon Society) and
we are considering adopting this project, and raising funds for it.
Therefore we are interested in your cost estimate for an RF systems
as follows:
Greetings,

AIM: Have a Roadshow-portable model that demonstrates the Power
beaming (Wireless Power transmission) concept end-to-end, and as
close to the real technology as possible.
We want to show:
1) What it looks like as a complete system
2) That it works & how
3) That it is safe
Distance from transmitter to rectenna about one foot, or 30
centimetres.
Intensity of beam shall be low enough that a member of the public can
hold their hand into the beam with no harmful effect.
The rectenna shall be large enough that it can collect enough energy
from the low density beam that it can power an LED.
The PV power supply, and the chassis and framework which will support
the RF system will be provided by the Moon Society using volunteer
resources.
This display demonstrator will be used to promote the concept of
power beaming from space and will be targeted media appearances.
Therefore it might be opportunity for more publicity for your company
if that might be of interest, e.g. placing your logo on the
apparatus.
There are very few people working actively with rectennas today, and
difficult to find.
Your thoughts and cost estimates wold be welcome.
Sincerely,
Charles F. Radley
