Planes could in soon be refuelled mid-flight by ground-based lasers after successful tests of the technology.
could this technology be utilized for space travel? ie beaming power or fuel to space ships in orbit or would the atmosphere diffuse the beam to much to be used in such a manner?
lightweight, stealthy design and very low acoustic signature derived from the extended assembly designed for the electrical motor, Stalker is claimed to be uniquely quiet, making it highly suitable for spec-ops role.

nice post, good find.
can you imagine how much things could change!
I'm loving the idea of people knock up this kind of equipment in there little garage/shed work shops.
Also if this is TESLA inspired then is it safe to say that they've had this technology for a very long time?

That would be too smart and too inexpensive.

This is Tesla technology, plain and simple.
...the process works much like solar power, where the sun shines on a photovoltaic receiver (solar cell) that converts the sunlight to electricity. We take electricity from a source such as a wall plug or generator and convert it into light (via laser).
That light is transmitted over a long distance to a photovoltaic receiver that converts the light back into electricity, where it can be used to run a motor, charge a battery, or anything else you’d want to run on electricity!
