Rick Hodgeson joins to share about EMROD. Rick joined EMROD in 2023 as Strategy and Commercial Manager and represented the team through the Slingshot 2023 competition at SWITCH.
Founded in 2019, in New Zealand, EMROD is working on long range power transmission with virtual wires. Specifically, they convert electricity to microwave energy, beam it from one antenna array to another and convert it back to electricity with core IP in the beam forming and high efficiency transmission. It’s proven over 10’s of meters. They are planning pilot projects to show commercial use cases with an ultimate goal of from earth to satellite to earth, leveraging renewable electricity and peak-shaving across the globe.
