Abstract:
It is suggested that the effect of multiple contactless rotation of electrons in an electrified ring, which has been recently discovered by our group, be used for energy transfer over long distances. In experiments with the ring, electrons travel very long distances, $\ge$ 10$^7$ km. Electron losses due to radiation and losses in a residual gas are analyzed. It is shown that these losses are much lower than 10$^{-4}$% over a distance of $\ge$ 10$^4$ km. Analysis is performed with regard to the complicated profile of the track. The electrical power that can be transmitted through such a channel is estimated. It exceeds 10$^{13}$ W at a channel diameter of several millimeters. If channels have the form of a solenoid or toroid, high magnetic fields arise in them, which may find different applications including magnetic plasma confinement.
