Wireless Electricity

Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT's breakthrough version, WiTricity -- a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker. Check it out. Wish I had thought of that!..lol http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html

Hey! Thanks for posting! I

Hey! Thanks for posting! I thought wireless power was more of a distant future kind of thing. Back in middle school my teachers were telling me that only Tesla came close to this but he only wound up frying things in the process. Now, more and more we're seeing cellphone chargers (Palm Pre), wireless mice, and demonstrations harmlessly transmitting large amounts of power through the air. That demo you shared is really incredible. I had no idea they could safely power an entire television set over the air just yet. Really crazy stuff!
