Cordless Electricity?

Cool!

Wasn't this what Tesla was working on?
Is this a spin off from his research?

In my mind a huge waste of electricity ( ... )

Either this or increase the range of the wireless power, which increases the radiation and Magnetic field.

The magnetic field might be the same density as Earth, but the amount generated if going into mass use, it will add up over the years. Basically we will all be living under a giant electric power lines radiating magnetic field and we know how people living under such constructs are really faring healthwise.

Wireless electricity? anonymous September 2 2009, 17:22:21 UTC

uhhh, is not all energy and vibrational frequencies in the universe quote-unquote 'wireless' in nature? We are the only species in the galaxy that forces energy to be on a wire... And yes Tesla did this work at a much higher level and was character assassinated by J.P. Morgan & Edison Electric when he wanted to give it away for free. His conscience would not allow him to put a meter on peoples homes and charge them for something that Mother Nature provided throughout the entire cosmos, essentially for free!

Yes but we will be creating more of these energies at higher intensities to satisfy power needs. Artificial creations without a balance damages nature, not help.

Reports of Bees might get extinct in 10 years due to too much wireless radio signals which mess with their navigation system are coming out. That one alone will damage the ecology, thus nature, and then us. So let us increase more radio signals beaming with electrical powers.

With 10 families in one apartment house, each having 4 members. Each having a laptop and cellphone, all charging. You would think that if you were standing on the ground and touched the building, you would turn into a light bulb.

This technology certainly has its applications - for example where wires are not feasible for whatever reason (in the toothbrush example it would be more expensive to water-proof a toothbrush with wires). However, the health effect may be a big concern. A cell phone wireless transmitter is only a few watts and there are already concerns about its safety (the issue is still debated). A LCD TV is hundreds time more powerful ( ... )

A cordless future for electricity? anonymous September 2 2009, 18:08:24 UTC

Tesla indeed succeeded in powering devices at significant distances without wires -- it's called radio! The MIT resonant transformer idea is just as old. And "power pads" are just 1/2 transformers -- the other 1/2 (winding) is in the device to be powered -- also old news. Remember '50s inductive stove tops that required metal cookware ( ... )

Tesla... anonymous September 2 2009, 21:20:40 UTC

Yes...Tesla had this idea. It is nothing new. It just never was developed. Now that no one really cares about the health of the general public as opposed to making money...the idea will probably take off.
