Method and apparatus for single line electrical transmission 


Abstract
This invention relates to the field of electrical technology, and relates 
particularly to a method for the continuous transformation of electrical 
energy with its subsequent transmission from an initial source (transformer) 
to a consuming device, and also to an apparatus for the implementation of 
this method of transformation and the supplying of power to electrical 
devices through a transmission line which does not form a closed circuit, ie 
consists of a single conducting wire. This invention therefore provides a 
method and associated apparatus for supplying power to an electrical 
device(s), including generation and subsequent transmission thereof to a 
receiving device via a transmission line, the method being characterised by 
the transformation of the electrical energy which is generated into the 
energy of oscillation of a field of free electrical charges such as the 
displacement current or longitudinal wave of an electrical field, the density 
of which charges varies in time, and the transmission of the energy via a 
transmission line which does not form a closed circuit comprising a 
single-wire transmission line and, where necessary, its transformation into 
the electromagnetic energy of conduction currents.
