tesla done it before 100 yeas where is the technology?

[matsta177]

Put a few big mother fucker version in space pointing at earth and we all have free pwer.

sun powers satellite, satellite powers my dildo everyone wins =D

Awesome sauce. Wonder how much cancer we'll get?

[AdamWho]

People have been playing with this technology for a long time and there are some reasons why it is likely to not be adopted. It wastes power, E&M fields scare people, E&M fields interfere with other transmission devices and the transmitter needs to be big, All electronics to be changed/ran need to have the receiver coils, this creates huge problems with standardization across the EOMs. There are about a dozen other issues.

You will have to Google them. Or Google "wireless charging" in the "news" section.You will get loads of updated souces. I would give you the links but I can't paste links in Youtube comments.But yeah, It's true.Wireless charging is just around the corner.

[wishmasterbrazen]

Would you be able to put a link to your sources please? im curious to read them

[shark1669661 .]

then the big greedy corporations wouldnt make any money, and thats no good, they wouldnt go for that

[HawK047]

You didnt get the point. The gas companies dont want this. They'll kill people before they go out of business.

[Ricardo Peredo]

Yes, but Tesla rarely sketched his ideas, and when he died he died with most of his secrets, the rest were confiscated.

[Marcia lowe]

Kinda of messed up. I just woke up out of a sleep and I thought of what if we can make a magnetic field and we can have our laptops or tvs or xbox/ gaming systems wireless. So I started drawing some prototypes together and then I said I want to make sure that no one else as done this. Now the last time I looked for wireless charging I came across inductive charging. But this was going to be different. So I looked in google and now I find this out. But I suppose I can still try for a patent.

[ByteMeChannel]

Can? Sorry, it will! Have you imagine cars using this tecnology? Only electricity can be transferend, making gas pumps and therefore fossil fuel obsolete...
