Power Delivery

On a macro level, power delivery in avali society is built around wireless power delivery via transmitters similar to cellular towers with extensions built withing dwellings. These transmitters leverage electromagnetic forces to both pinpoint devices to deliver power to as well as deliver the power. Specialized receivers convert the energy towards something more usable for devices designed to leverage this technology.

Devices are connected to the towers, and the signal gets strong enough to power devices. Most personal devices have very small, auxiliary solid state batteries. This method of power delivery allows for power delivery while flying, and cuts down on size and material requirement for powered augments. Portable batteries and power emitters are used when traveling to remote areas of Avalon not yet covered, or when traveling off world.

Due to efficiency improvements, small auxiliary devices without much power requirements and many augments can be powered primarily through temperature differential between the warmer avali and the outside air. This kind of power delivery is used planetwide, but is most useful in the colder areas of Avalon- though the usefulness of this is limited to devices that do not require much power at all. This technology is called thermal carrier generation. Most of Avalon uses a combination of these technologies, though some regions where geomagnetic forces disrupt wireless power delivery require alternative power solutions - this is most prevalent in the far north and south of Avalon.
