WiTricity - Wireless Electricity - Blu-ray Forum

THE_FORCE · 09-29-2009, 09:24 AM

If this has been posted before then I apologise in advance, but this is something that has been on my mind for years, and now it seems it might materialise sooner than I had ever imagined.

Wireless electricity, better known as 'WiTricity'. Think of the applications ! It seems it involves converting electricity to resonating magnetic waves which are then transmitted through the air. Completely safe to both humans and animals also, as there is no radiation emitted.

Imagine being able to place your 150" paper thin OLED screen (to replace that old PJ and fixed screen) ANYWHERE, with no power lead dangling from it.

Eric Giler, the CEO of the company behind it all explains it alot better here:

I'd like it if they could come up with battery cells that could last for years on end so it would save on electricity.

They've been experimenting with this sort of thing for oh... say... about 100 years now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer

Thing is, in apartment buildings, if everyone has wireless electricity it would be next to impossible to figure out who is using what energy. That's why I have my doubts as to if this will ever happen or not.

That would quite a good change from the mess of wiring.

And a nice one.
