Answer: No, and it is not possible to transmit power wire less, although small amounts of power can be captured from radio frequency signals flying around all over the world and it is not very difficult to capture it, all one need is a good multi band antenna to capture a large as possible part of the RF spectrum and some rectifying electronics. Then there is a way to capture power from the magnetic field surrounding high-tension overhead lines, but that is dangerous and illegal, and also to unstable for any use.

What is serial transmission?

Serial transmission is a method of transmitting data where one bit is transmitted after another in a single wire. Serial transmission is usually used to transmit data between two computers as it is less expensive, yet at a cost of a slightly slow speed. A minimum of two wires is needed for serial transmission, which is less compared to a minimum of eight wires in parallel transmission. Serial transmission is used to send data over long distances as the bits are less likely to get out of order. It is used in devices such as modems, bar code readers and light pens .

Why is it electrical power is normally transmitted at high voltage?

Simplistically Power is Voltage times Current. Sending at domestic voltage requires much more current to be sent for the same power and therefore much thicker wires, heavier equipment and more repeater transformers as over distance the resistance of the wires and switches would cause the voltage to fall quickly below domestic. For the same power delivery, sending at higher voltages requires less current, lighter wires, and voltage losses over distance are more easily managed so much less equipment is required.


Why high voltage transmission is used in case of transmitting electrical power?

Higher voltages allow for lower currents; electric power is measured in watts, which are calculated by volts multiplied by amps. The higher the voltage, the lower the amperage. This is important as a higher amperage requires a thicker cable; compare the cable on a car battery (12 volts at say, 50 amps, equalling 600 watts) to that on a vacuum cleaner (120 volts at 10 amps, or 1200 watts). The vacuum uses more power, but that power is transmitted through thinner wires, because the voltage is higher. It is the same with long-distance power transmission. Thinner wires are less expensive (they are made of aluminum braided over a steel cable for strength) and also weigh less, allowing the poles/pylons to be of lower strength. Also the losses would be reduced in high voltage transmission.


Can transmission fluid be used instead of power steering fluid?

Transmission fluid should not be used in place of power steering fluid. Power steering fluid is less compressible so that it can transfer power to different systems. Transmission fluid is meant for lubrication and has higher dimulsibility than power steering fluid.


Do thicker wires use more energy than thinner wires?

Wires themselves don't really consume energy. The only time the power consumption of wires comes into concern is when they are run at long distances. Short distances of wires consume so little energy that the amount is quite negligible. The power loss is due to the conductors heating up as the current flows through them. In your case the thicker wires would cause less resistance to the flow of current and would in turn cause less heating.


How does changing the voltage increase the efficiency of power transmission?

Changing the voltage during power transmission increases efficiency by reducing current flow for the same power level, which minimizes energy losses due to resistance in the transmission lines. Higher voltage allows for lower current, resulting in reduced I²R losses (where I is current and R is resistance). This means that less energy is wasted as heat, improving the overall efficiency of the power transmission system. Additionally, efficient voltage levels can enable longer transmission distances with less energy loss.


What do thick wires resist electricity?

Thick wires have lower resistance to electricity compared to thin wires because they have more surface area for the current to flow through. This lower resistance allows for more efficient transmission of electricity with less energy loss in the form of heat.


Why the electric utility company increases the voltage of electricity for long distance transmission?

If we would like to transmit the voltage that comes staright from power stations without increasing it, we would have to use wires of size of the motorway to carry it. When we increase the voltage, current decreases which means we can use less diameter wire and we can transmit the power easly. P.zak bury


Why was the gasoline engine considered 'better' than the steam engine?

There are many reasons , few of them are : better efficiency, less weight to power ratio that means they are also used where less power transmission is required, absence of heat exchangers and condensors etc make it less expensive


What are advantages of infrared transmission?

Infrared transmission is advantageous because it is less prone to interference from other wireless signals, has low power consumption, and can be used for communication over short distances securely.
