Intel Showcases Wireless Power Concept

Looks like super economic. Why is not in my house like a default shit? Why I have like 20 cables just for my PC? WHY?

Wild Capitalism. With more control over the big dogs we could be living in the real 2010. The technology is out there and it could be for free.

Safe tech is never fun. When you have 10mw arcing lightning bolts, then it starts to get fun.

Oh, so now we all want wireless power? No props for Tesla?

Tesla did it

A 100 years ago

@drewduffy1213: except, Tesla used standing waves and the ground as a conductor which is why distance mattered less and efficiency got much higher.

You would think he never existed. Many people don't even know who he is, and ideas he had decades ago are just beginning to surface now.

I think some university in Japan has already done this with LEDs and tested this theory with long distance power transmissions as well but I think the efficiency was very less to call it a successful experiment.

the rep looks pretty nervous

[kevinmauzey]

that's really nice. this sure does eliminate the need for power strips.

Wow that's pretty cool - charging my laptop mobile!!!
