A decade ago, non-radiative wireless power transmission re-emerged as a promising alternative to deliver electrical devices where physical wiring proved be unfeasible. However, existing approaches are neither scalable nor efficient when multiple involved, they restricted by factors like coupling and external environments. Zenneck waves excited at interfaces, surface plasmons have the potential placed on conducting surface. Here, we demonstrate, long range delivery of exciting nonradiative over metal surfaces loads. Our modeling simulation using Maxwells equation with proper boundary conditions shows type behavior for in excellent agreement experimental results. In conclusion, physically realize radically different transfer system, based wave, whose existence has been fiercely debated century.
