Wireless Transmission of Electricity discuss its effectiveness.

Wireless Transmission of Electricity
Wireless electricity is a new and major scientific development in the history of energy and its transmission methods. This technology has been tested and is being put into implementation in Ireland. The main principle behind the working of wireless transfer of electricity is the use of oscillating magnetic fields to achieve resonant energy transfer. Despite the promising benefits of being able to receive electricity wireless, debate is still raging as to whether such a noble invention should be under control of the government or private companies. Discussed below are some of the benefits and negative implications that each of the above choices has to offer.
Putting the government in control of wireless electricity can result in delays and postponements in the process of distributing the electricity across the country. This is because the government employs bureaucratic procedures in all its dealings. For a policy to be made or changed, such as how far the electricity will penetrate the country and which areas will receive it first, the government must conduct endless consultations between the uppermost leadership and the grassroots so as to come to an agreement.
Secondly, the government is generally slow in completing its activities and goals. In the case of installing the necessary infrastructure for wireless electricity, the government must first conduct a tendering and bidding process in search of a suitable contractor. The selection procedure for the perfect bidders among many prospective candidates is a hard task and time-consuming. This is all done in a bid to fulfill constitutional requirements that are associated with government dealings. As a result, it is evident that if the project is put under the government, chances of it coming to fruition soon enough are very minimal.
However, despite the disadvantages of government control, there are also some benefits. For example, under government leadership, the project would be cheaper for the taxpayers since no external [private] and expensive would be involved. Additionally, the government has to employ a certain percentage of local manpower in the project as per the constitution thus creating jobs for its people.
On the other hand, private companies too have massive benefits as well as disadvantages compared to the government. One of the benefits presented by private investors is that the capital required to finance the project is readily available unlike the government which has to source for funds from within its national budget leading to budget cuts in certain sectors of the economy. Investors view the project as a business venture and therefore they put all their dedication and manpower towards realizing profits quickly. However, this approach also has its own negative side in that the project will be done hurriedly and this will most likely lead to a low quality job on the part of private companies. Additionally, work of low quality can be as a result of the private investors trying to minimize the construction cost in an attempt to maximize profits.
The other benefit of private investors is the high level of skills and expertise required for their manpower. This ensures that only professionals are responsible for the project and translates to better quality of the work done. The only problem associated with having a workforce comprised entirely of professionals is the high amount of money that the private company will spend on their remuneration thus reducing the profit margin.
Private companies may also offer low electricity billing rates in an effort to attract more customers and maintain a lead on other competitors offering the same product. Such kind of incentives mean that there will be a low cost of electrical installation and usage leading to more penetration across the country as more people embrace this cheaper and new technology.
In Ireland the patenting costs vary with no fixed amount of fees required. However this is clearly determined by the type of the patent that is being sought. The types of patents considered in Ireland based on the time period or the intended nature of the patent. In terms of time period there are short-term and long-term patents with the average total cost for a short term patent adding up to €90 in filling fees and grant fees. For the long term patent the total costs may add up to an average of €389 for a period of 20 years (Irish patent office, 2014). The process to apply for patent in Ireland is not complicated. One is required to obtain an application form with the minimum requirements. A filling date and an application number if the applicant is assigned. Then the applicant is issued a receipt that contains the details of the applicant. The application is then accessed and rules out all obstacles noted. If the applicant is clear the details of the mark are published in an official journal where anyone with objections to the awarding of patent to a certain applicant has three months to object. If no objections are made then the application of the patent is considered sucessfull
The Ireland government is tasked the overall mandate of ensuring the relevant laws and legislations to ensure the safe and effective transmission of electricity. These legislations are relevant to the citizens of Ireland to ensure that the placement of transmitters and the transmission process does not have adverse effects to the environment nor does it negatively affect the livelihood of the Ireland citizens. The electricity transmitters are expected to emit electro-magnetic radiations considering they are magnetic flux transmitters. Therefore as a policy the involved parties are required to provide clear and credible information to the infrastructure planning commission that ascertains the safeness of the electricity networks ensuring it is not going to cause any adverse effects on the climate causing any climatic changes in Ireland.
As observed the wireless mode of transmitting electricity is considered cost effective in various ways. The electric cables and lines are done away with and the mobility of the clients is not limited much. However this comes at the expense of the provider of the electricity may it be the government or a private company. This is because with the availability of the wireless electricity it is hard for the provider to limit or gauge the amount of power used by a certain individual. This means that the placement and use of meters to read the consumption of power by a certain individual or group is a hard task. Therefore for the project to work out successfully, it is the mandate of the companies involved and the government to document well established policies that clearly set the platform for regulating the use of the wireless energy.
Citing concerns over exposure of the Ireland citizens to the electric and magnetic emissions from the transformers, it is required that there be policies that ensure the safety of every citizen. Low power frequencies are identified as possible carcinogens to the human beings. Therefore as the world health organization suggests the governments as well as the companies involved have the duty to find ways and means to reduce the exposure of human beings to the emissions. This would involve policies that require the fitting of electro-magnetic emissions monitors in various areas in a bid to ascertain and regulate the emissions to avert any casualties. the policies should also require the placement of transmitters away from the populated areas as well as natural sites such as rivers and lakes to reduce the number of people exposed to the emissions. In areas where the transmitters are in populated areas the Irish government should have in place policies that require the strict and close monitoring of the transmitters to ensure that the electro-magnetic levels are regulated as well as ensuring any cases of accidents are dealt with fast and accordingly.
