Kazakh school student invents device for energy transmission in space

A Kazakh school student has developed a device for energy transmission in space. Nurali Amangeldyev, a ninth-grader from the Abai region, created a device capable of transmitting electricity under the influence of laser beams. The young inventor worked on this project for over two years, utilizing accessible materials. As a result, Amangeldyev built a system comprising two models. One model emits a laser beam onto the photoresistor of the other, enabling it to charge. The energy generated is sufficient to power a light bulb or a mobile phone. During testing, the device demonstrated effective operation at distances of up to 10 meters and maintained consistent performance under various weather conditions.

«The idea for this project came to me thanks to my brother when we were working together on a project to generate energy using a Peltier element. I decided to create a system: a laser that would transmit this energy, convert it into a laser beam, and send it to other space stations. These stations, using a special target, would then convert the laser beam into energy. In total, I found four types of transmission systems worldwide, including in the U.S., Russia, Japan, and China,» shared  young inventor Nurali Amangeldyev.

The young inventor intends to participate in an international competition in Baikonur with his project. In the future, he plans to make the device autonomous.
