Greg Rockwood sent me this link regarding the recent space elevator contest at Edwards AFB this week:

He also observed that maybe we can run servo motors without wiring someday, using this power beaming technology. Hmmm - how about a tilting rotary table riding on a VTL. We could shoot a laser at it periodically to charge the servo/controller's supercap power supply.
Stay tuned.
