DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY
This invention relates to the field of electrical technology, and relates particularly to a method for the continuous transformation of electrical energy with fits subsequent transmission from an initial source (transformer) to a consuming device, and also to an apparatus for the implementation of this method of transformation and the supplying of power to electrical devices through a transmission line which does not form a closed circuit, ie consists of a single conducting wire.
BACKGROUND ART
There exists a means for the transmission of electrical energy along a conducting wire which does not form a closed circuit ie, a single conducting wire. It is based on the discovery in 1729 by the English physicist Stephen Grey of the phenomenon of electrical conductivity. The essence of this phenomenon consists in the fact that electricity may be transmitted from one body to another along a metal conductor or a length of yarn, and that the electrical charge is distributed over the surface of the conductor.
See Yu. A. Khramov, Physicists: A Biographical Reference Book (Moscow, "Nauka" 1983) (in Russian); and Dictionary of scientific biography (New York, Charles Scribener's Sons 1970-1978).
As to closed circuits, a well known means for the supplying of power to electrical devices has existed since the creation in 1799 by the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta of the first source of prolonged electrical current (Volta's column). This means is based on the transmission of electrical energy generated in the initial source to the consuming device directly through a transmission line consisting of two conducting wires which together with the source and the load form a closed circuit.
See Yu. A. Khramov, Physicists: A Biographical Reference Book, M. I. Radovsky, Galvani and Volta (Moscow-Leningrad 1941) (in Russian); and G. Polvani, Alessandro Volta (Pisa 1942).
There exists another important type of closed circuit that represents a means for the supply of power to electrical devices based on the discovery made by M Faraday and J Henry of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction (published by M Faraday in 1831, and on the invention by P N Yablochkov in 1876 of the electrical transformer. The essence of this means consists in the transformation of the current or the voltage of electrical energy generated in the initial source and the transmission line to the consuming device.

Khramov, Physicists: A Biographical Reference Book; The Large Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Ed. (Bol 26 Moscow, "Soviet Encyclopedia" 1977) (in Russian).
As to wireless means, there exists a means for the supplying of power to electrical and radio devices by using an electromagnetic field. This means is based an G Herz's experimental proof in 1888 of the existence of electromagnetic waves, the discovery of which was forecast by J Maxwell in 1865. The means essentially consists in the transformation of electrical energy from the initial source into an electromagnetic field which is radiated into space and received by the consuming device.

There also exists an electrical device for the transmission of the energy of free electrical charges from the initial source by means of a non-conducting ribbon. This is the so-called high voltage electrostatic generator, which was designed and constructed by the American physicist Van de Graaf between 1929 and 1933. In this device electrical charges are sprayed from needles under high voltage on to a moving ribbon and transferred to an insulated metal dome, where they accumulate. The charges may be sprayed on to the ribbon and collected from it; the ribbon and the dome
