Wireless Electricity
We have a summer cottage in the woods. It would cost a fortune to
have poles and power lines run to this place, since it's about 8 miles
to the nearest pole. All we want are a few lights and outlets for
power tools and small appliances. A generator is costly too, and then
it needs expensive gas. Someone told us to get wireless power from
the electric company. I guess it works something like satellite tv.
Where can we get it? The power company around here said they do not
have it.

I think they're called "batteries."

You're going to the totally wrong souce. Go to church, not the power
company. The CEO at church will hook you up with wireless electricity. Not
only is it wireless, it's free. It's called ligntning. Once delivered, it's
up to you to manage it to your needs.

The only wireless power is solar cells charging a battery and then
using an inverter to convert the DC from the battery to 120V to power
your stuff. Anything else, someone is pulling your leg.

I don't mean to be a blowhard, but wind power can be used to charge
those batteries if you're in a location favorable to that.

I can't imagine a windmill/charger/invertor setup being cheaper than
a generator. It is unlikely to pay for itself in saved fuel costs within
a person's lifetime.

You might be surprised. Great plains farms used them years ago. There was
a market for low voltage appliances too. Easy to fabricate with only hand
tools and off the shelf parts.

How much wind is there going to be in the middle of a forest?

If no one is there to feel it, it doesn't exist.
