Imagine if high voltage electricity was safe to touch.
How would it change the way we design our power grid, our telecommunications networks, or how we power cars and trains? VoltServer brings this technology in the form of Packet Energy Transfer; and we have already begun to demonstrate it in real-world applications.
Voices and music, pictures and books have been forever transformed by the digital age. Much of the information in the world is now transmitted using "internet protocol" where it is digitized into millions of data packets that are individually managed and routed to maximize reliability and performance.
But electrical power is still distributed much like it was during the days of Tesla and Edison. The revolution behind Packet Energy Transfer is the digitization and management of electrical power in discrete packets that contain both energy and data. But no single packet contains enough energy to harm a person and certainly not enough to damage a power line.
If a person, or perhaps a tree branch, touches the conductors carrying the energy packets, the identifying features are corrupted. The system can reliably detect a single corrupted packet and discontinue or reroute power in microseconds; leaving the person unharmed and the power grid undamaged.
Imagine vehicles that are safely powered from the road surface or power grids that self diagnose and self repair based on the ability to manage electric power to minute resolution. At VoltServer, we plan to enable these world changing technologies using Packet Energy Transfer.
