iTWire - MIT researchers demonstrate 'WiTricity'

Quote:
A key point is that WiTricity does not use electromagnetic radiation, which would be inefficient and possibly hazardous. Instead, it relies on magnetically coupled resonance which gives efficient energy transfer and interacts very weakly with most common materials including living creatures. "The fact that magnetic fields interact so weakly with biological organisms is also important for safety considerations," said researcher Andre Kurs.

i was reading this the other day sounded amazing, by all accounts cause you could just have a main power unit which resonated at the right frequency. you could theoretically power everything without wires

Good stuff ! i think we will see this in use more in the future

I remember wondering about this as a kid, why it hasn't already happened.

Will be very useful especially for charging phones and things! Have a charging station for all your devices..
