Wireless Energy Transfer

[I pulled myself away from videos of Virtua Fighter 5 R to type this, so you'd better appreciate it.]

The jist of what I was mumbling is that the technology behind wireless electricity is nothing more than the (perhaps optimized) mechanics behind a simple AM-radio. Instead of piping weak electric waves to a speaker [the magnetic properties of the speaker-parts make it jostle back and forth very quickly and minutely, causing sound-waves], you channel the power into... something else. As I said in the video; I imagine that the application of broadcast electricity was mostly forgotten after its introduction due to the bulk of then-modern technology making it a moot point.

There isn't a way to attract radio-signals, is there? If there was, one could theoretically broadcast electricity throughout a large area, and re-capture what isn't used, around the border thereof. I've read that aluminum can reflect radio-waves, and since broadcast electricity is nothing but very strong radio-waves, it seems possible that in-door use of wireless power could be made efficient by setting up antennae and foil-plating within the walls of a building.

what kept us from implementing this technology sooner is that no one can control who hooks up to the grid and not.

YOU LOOSE CONTROL

by the way, many major universities have done the test and found to be up to 1000% efficient. you might say free energy...

any ways, it is not free. many blood has to flow till the energy companies "allow" this. that is why you find so few info about it, and the calculations have to do it yrself.

MissleLaunch, the question is good, but don't make it rhetorical.

(I am way too damn quick, with this.)

Perhaps I need to put a disclaimer onto the video, stating that I don't really know jack about what I'm talking about? ;)

My proposed inefficiency-check (lining rooms with wave-reflectors), implemented on a small-scale, could still benefit power-companies. So what if you've got free energy, for 10 yards out, if you open a window? I doubt the powers that be care that much. Besides, the government could just work electricity into the peoples' taxes.

You know absoutly nothing about anything to do with electricity and power sources please stop pretending that you know what your talking about. You can't even grasp the simple concepts that Tesla proved around 100 years ago and your trying to explang how "simple" of an idea wireless energy transfer is. It's not simple in any way shape or form, take a class read a book learn something before you pretend to be an expert on somthing that you dont understand.

Whoah-ho nelly! You're a little too serious, buddy! ^_^

Care to enlighten me on what I'm overlooking? I'm willing to learn.

Insofar as I had understood things, at the time of this video, AM/FM-radios are built on the same technology Tesla conceived: to use the ame type of signal to power appliances, one just needed to über-charge the broadcast (wildly inefficient [without elaborate work-arounds], I know ^^;;).

I'm, uh, sorry I offended ya?

get a hair cut, and trim the beard. Then, read some literature about RFID's.

[MissleLaunch]

I did the first two things a few weeks back, so bleh. :P I'll look into RFIDs, and make a follow-up video... if I can be buggered to do so.

@encodion 1000%? kinda throws the law of conservation out the window. as for being on/off the grid, every house has a meter that is read, wireless or not I don't see why this would be a valid point any more.

Damn when did Wookiee start talking, I did not see them talk in Star Wars? Is your cousin Sobecka on this video too?

LOL!

Have a look at Quasicrystals. Alienscientist (search for his channel) has some good info about harnessing energy in this way.

[encodion]

the fact is, by using this tech, you wont get free energy from the power companies. for yr receptor to work you must know the resonance frequency of the company's transmitter, witch could be modified via a parallel digital control system. or even modify the waveform.

i know i am overriding my previous post (done more research). using tesla's ideas opens the door to another, not necessary free, but extremely cheap energy. that means less charge, and less commissions and less money
