The idea of obtaining useful wireless power is a pipe dream. It has long been demonstrated possible to extract a few milliwatts of power from a nearby radio tower by using resonant radio circuits. Extracting useful amounts of power to light a house or power a car is impossible even from a short distance away. Suppose there was a practical device for doing so, the transmission radiant energy is still limited by the Inverse-Square Law, which states that a specified physical quantity or intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity. In other words, an object twice as far away, receives only one-quarter the energy. Double the distance several times over, and you will see the radiant intensity falls off so rapidly as to be practically useless.

Don’t forget to invent dehydrated water. A lot easier to transport.
