Google's Quasi-Wireless Patent #US_10044442B2

Google's Quasai Wireless Patent #US_10044442B2
is described in its abstract as:

A method for delivering a communication signal is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an optical transceiver, an optical communication and constructing, at a baseband integrated circuit in communication with the optical transceiver, a radio frequency communication (e.g., the intermediate frequency data and control signals) based on the optical communication. The method also includes transmitting the radio frequency communication from a Sommerfeld-Goubau launcher in communication with the baseband integrated circuit as a surface wave along a power line to a strand mount device disposed on the power line. The strand mount device is configured to receive the radio frequency communication and wirelessly transmit the radio frequency communication (e.g., via a wireless link) to a user device.

In light of the fact that power lines emit EM radiation, it seems the choice was made to install the tech on power lines. The process will be laid out in the patents below:

The Launchers propagate ambient electromagnetic radiation via 2 conical "launchers" placed on the powerlines.

Launcher Setup:

Wave guide:

Between these launchers is a wave guide, depicted here:

The wave guide allows the propagated EM radiation to be transmitted in ranges up to a terahertz microwave frequency. Sommerfeld Goubau is originally a single wire transmission technology. In the 1950s a gentlemen named George Goubau added a waveguide mechanism in between the 2 conical emitters/receivers. Since, it has been close to the chest within the DOD ad government projects. As of late google has found implementations for it. Not only can it transmit wireless energy if met with a line of sight receiver, which Facebook has built, it is capable of x-ray type viewing, interferometry, and a plethora of other uses.

The depictions below indicate intention of frequency transfer from the powerline with attached Goubau launchers directly to the devices that are targeted by way of wireless emission. it seems that the 2 conical appendages in the strand mount device, as far as i can tell, send signal to each other, i assume this creates a cylindrical mechanism containing the EM radiation in turn providing the ability to propagate it. I will expand on this synopsis as the site develops.
