Dr Peter Glaser
The potential role microwaves could play in the "solar power satellite", an idea invented by Dr. Peter Glaser to help solve the energy crisis. Peter Glaser, William Brown, Owen Maynard and others in NASA designed development of a system which would beam to earth five billion watts, enough for a large city. A key device, called the "rectenna", was invented by William Brown to make this power transmission efficient. For economic reasons, funding for the SPS was shelved but world-wide activity on the SPS and related MPT (microwave-power transmission) ideas never ceased and is now resuming within NASA.
