Wireless Transfer of Electricity in Outer Space
Alexander Bolonkin

TL;DR
This paper explores a revolutionary method for wirelessly transferring large amounts of electrical energy across vast distances in space using plasma cables, with potential applications for space stations, planets, and spacecraft.
Contribution
It introduces a novel concept of using plasma cables for wireless energy transfer in space, including detailed calculations and macroproject proposals.
Findings
Large energy transfer over hundreds of millions of kilometers possible
Minimal plasma cable mass required for effective transfer
Plasma cables can also accelerate or brake spacecraft
Abstract
Author offers conclusions from his research of a revolutionary new idea - transferring electric energy in the hard vacuum of outer space wirelessly, using a plasma power cord as an electric cable (wire). He shows that a certain minimal electric currency creates a compressed force that supports the plasma cable in the compacted form. A large energy can be transferred hundreds of millions of kilometers by this method. The required mass of the plasma cable is only hundreds of grams. He computed the macroprojects: transference of hundreds kilowatts of energy to Earth Space Station, transferring energy to the Moon or back, transferring energy to a spaceship at distance 100 million of kilometers, the transfer energy to Mars when one is located at opposed side of the distant Sun, transfer colossal energy from one of Earth's continents to another continent (for example, between Europe-USA)…
