Wireless power for robots on the moon

It looks like we will soon be delivering power wirelessly to NASA robots on the moon. Yank Tech just won a NASA contract to to develop wireless charging solutions for autonomous vehicles on the moon.
In this TechFirst, we chat with CEO Josh Yank.
Topics we cover include:
- Wireless power on the moon ... how does it work?
- What’s the power source … solar energy?
- When will it be ready?
- When could it be used?
- What missions will this be used on?
- Any uses on earth?
- There's been a massive growth in humanoid robots … is this tech useful for them?

Great interview guys. I rather like the term “Lunar economy” thank you.

me too :-)

When the discussion finally got to talkin about long-range charging I would have been like oh I mean something like a solar array in orbit around the moon .. it would be the perfect test bad as there's no atmosphere... For orbital wireless charging

[@dustinswatsons9150]

But yeah the best way to beam energy from an orbital platform would probably be laser and it would probably have to beam down to like a substation away from the dirty environment.. and then of course Tesla coils ! Capacitors instead of batteries!
