Yes but you are charging through a conductive cable. It's not even remotely the same as charging something with microwaves. The power delivered decreases exponentially with distance. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "inverse square law". Because you divide the effect and gain by 4*pi*(r^2) meaning your output is decreased by 75% every time you double the distance. You're going to need ridiculously powerful hardware and an enormous amount of electricity to run it on any meaningful distance.

The decreased chargng time comes with a massive increase in charging power. The equivalent in ths scenario is to massvely increase the microwave power - which would likely cook the drone.

Exactly, proof of concept was all the scientists needed to see.

But the Trump Navy will use cannons to fire coal up to drones and Tesla sexbots will shovel the coal.
