We're One Step Closer to Wireless Electricity

Tesla did something similar in early days.. but I think they said it was so expensive on the sending end that it wasn't worth it. ? Great idea though! I think for normal radio sending power the equation is similar to radar range equation losses on the order of the 4th power?

Semantics: "Rather than send out electromagnetic waves, it fills the space around it with a magnetic field oscillating at a particular frequency. The second copper coil is designed to resonate with that oscillating magnetic field. A copper coil within an oscillating magnetic field generates a current"

Tell me how this is different from a (large air gap) transformer.

A very good question.

I like the sentence "..magnetic field oscillating at a particular frequency". I suppose it sounds more technical than ".. oscillating magnetic field". Jeff

We keep getting this stuff..

Excuse me while I go and sit in the microwave oven and compose a pithy rebuttal of the concept.

Do we know enough about the possible adverse health effects of oscillating magnetic field?

Maybe they figured out a way to make the magnetic field more directional (like a radar beam) and this ability could be the key to making it feasible economically as well as technically.

I don't quite understand the concept of the clever directional beams – In my mind it is analogue to medicine Which is taken though the mouth (or other direct method) and eventually end in the blood where it is delivered to the organ or part that requires it.

These people must hurry up. What really is required is transmission of power without cables. We are faced with cable theft (overhead and underground).

It would be nice if the electricity can be transmitted from the hill and everybody can tap into it.

A lot of problems need to be addressed first,

Metering – I would not like to be charged for a neighbours use. Neither for the use of a clever motorist tapping into my source for powering his battery driven car.

Traffic – Metal cars may be affected by the strong magnetic field and cars may have to be changed to plastic or something else. Alternatively a notice "beware of the magnetic field" may do the trick. (Leave the how to the driver)

A final note:- Water can be carried in a bucket with a hole in it (Ask Liza & Henry) but it would not be effective unless dust control is part of the setup.

why not use light source couple solar cell sensors to power each devices in house / office instead .electro magnetism will attract opposition from environment conservers .Again invest in reserch to follow protection for human , sensitive devices ,hospitals etc,oscillating magnetic field will definetly alter high sesitive devices like magnetic based sensors , pace makers ,sofisticated electronics , again providing enclosures to such devices alter economics, try other way out , like super conductivity

Yes imagine if you walk in and all your vcr tapes are erased ?

Its possible to do the wireless 'most' everything but research is needed! The future awaits us.

Hi everybody,

I do not have your level of technical education, my interest and knowledge is in health ... Dr. Carlo and other European researchers suggest to use special devices isolating EMF from our environment ... EMF damages the cellular membranes that turn into "old rubber" ... once damaged they do not let water and nutrients to get inside to support all cellular activities ... the trapped toxins cannot be removed ... health problems from using electrical blankets were documented long time ago ... without the personal protection one should not stand in the electromagnetic field ... however, anywhere you look you will notice microwave towers that emit this strong and dangerous air pollution ... to a health conscious person this is scary ... here is my site with additional information www.myBIOPRO.com/ej ... your thoughts? ... thx, Jaan // "You cannot hurt your eyesight by looking on the bright side."

Interesting! Yet I know my grand mother who lived to be 87 and she used electric blankets alot ever since they first came out in the late 60's was it. And another personal aqaintance who used them also and is still living at 79 and still works partime. I can't comment on others but that is the situations that I know of.

You would think that if cellular damage is occurring that it would be most apparent neat the surface on the skin areas? But I see not much evidence of this in society? Or much being said about it. Can you give us examples of massive citizenry having health problems? I'm not saying you are wrong.. just commenting on how little is known about it.

I think wireless technology is possible perhaps if the wires were embedded in the walls it would allow us not to have to those many wires running everywhere. Then if perhaps you were in range of a wall (say 2 feet) wouldn't have to have a wire for the power. In fact there is already magnetic car chargers (electric cars) and magnetic lights and switches.. so its in the ballpark of possibles.
