Wireless electricity, meaning electricity powering your device or appliance with no cord plugged into the wall, is a reality. Paul Hochman from MSN visits three companies pioneering wireless technology and explains how it works.

  • @grubelsucht The bunny-hop effect he mentions I think solves the problem. But it would require replacing pretty much everything wired in your house. :(

  • As much of a boss Tesla was, he didn't exactly have wireless electricity done in any way that we could use today. I mean 200,000V sending 130ft beams of electricity to the ground isn't exactly safe! Perhaps if JP Morgan didn't cut his funding over 100 years ago though, he'd have cracked it.

    My question with this though is more why it isn't all over the place yet, would be nice to have some idea of the costs.

  • Also if tesla would have completed his wireless electricity project ...it would have been free for everyone

  • What an awesome new concept. Says the guy that has no clue. The other posters are right . TESLA invented wireless tech. A century ago.

  • It appears that devices must be so close to the power-transfer that the wireless feature hardly matters. Could this technology turn out to be an attractive gimmick to compel us to buy new, wireless devices to replace perfectly good wired ones? On the positive side, we may expect the old-fashioned wired electronics to get much cheaper.

  • Tesla for president

  • Tesla could transmit electricity for miles, a hundred years ago!

  • WiTri is going to be the next big thing...now companies need to start getting on board with this!!

  • This is pretty cool, I can imagine in the future a power station near the city daisy chaining power to all the houses.

  • @bboborino Humans are invisible to magnetic fields. No electrical fields are involved. Safety issues are null.
