Sky Train Blimp Plane?

+0

Can using blimps to hold power lines and implement laser filamentation of ablout 7 meter span from the source of power for a contact free power supply to power an electric engine (designed to run on super high voltage low amperage) plane or blimp be done in this way?

Battery weight prevents an efficient means of travel and we are far from creating a battery light enough to be efficient. The plane does the lifting not the rail. In the event of a plane stall the whole rail would slowly descend safely.

I could not find pictures were anyone had done this with weather balloons. Could enough whether balloons be chained to even climb it?

Electricity arcing along a straight path of ions created by the high temperature laser on top picture transfers the most efficient way to transfer large amount of electricity or power without a wire currently. The air acts as a natural insulator can be projected accurately miles long if needed. The planes laser would shoot the rail many times a second and electricity would travel back to the plane with almost no loss of efficiency in transmission.
