Sounds like somebody has been watching to much Star Trek. Next we will
have 'Bio-Gell Packs". I heard copper cable can transmit power pretty
well. The application may not be to far-fetched if you wanted to get
power to an under-sea amplifier and the IR loss from copper was to high.
But I wonder if you are violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics here?

Subject: [TN] Power over Fiber Optic cable
Is anyone out there doing this...
Has anyone worked with or heard of a process for transmitting power over a
fiber-optic cable?
I believe the theory behind this is to transmit light over a cable and
then
convert it to power via a photovoltaic cell or something similar.
I need to respond to a question on a proposal on this subject today.
If you have any information on this topic, please let me know.
Thanks,
Rob
