Wireless Electricity

Here's something I read today and had thought of it earlier also. This is a fascinating thought. I really hope that people would succeed in whatever they are doing. Read on...

WIRELESS ELECTRICITY: Power’s In The Air
If phones, mice and keyboards could get wireless, why not everything else? In fact, about a hundred years ago, that untamed genius, Nikola Tesla had already begun to build a tower at Wardenclyffe, N.Y. to demonstrate the transmission of electricity without the use of wires.
On a humbler scale, researchers at MIT are in the process of repeating the experiment with their own ideas and less ostentatious techniques.

WiTricity
Marin Soljacic, Assistant Professor of Physics at the MIT, has spent a considerable number of years trying to figure out how to transmit power without cables. Radio waves lose too much energy during their passage through the air and lasers are constrained by the necessity of line-of-sight. Soljacic decided to use Resonant Coupling, in which two objects vibrating at the same frequency can exchange energy without harming things around them. He used magnetic resonance and along with his colleagues Jon Hoannopoulos and Peter Fisher, succeeded in lighting up a 60 watt bulb two metres away. What they did was this: two resonant copper coils were tied to dangle from the ceiling, two meters away from each other. Both were tuned to the same frequency and one had a light bulb attached to it. When current was made to pass through one coil, it created a magnetic field and the other resonated, generating an electric current. And then there was light. The experiment succeeded in spite of a thin screen being placed between the two copper coils.

And If This Comes Through...
One of the most obvious results is that we won’t have dozens of cables to trip over in our offices and rooms. Primarily, the aim of this research team is to achieve a cable-free environment wherein your laptops PDAs and mobile phones could charge themselves (with all the electricity floating around) and even, maybe, get rid of the batteries that are so much an essential part of our portable devices today. Magnetic fields interact very weakly with biological organisms and this little fact makes it infinitely safer for us. While this experiment happened about a year ago, the team is still hard at work trying to use other materials so as to increase the efficiency of the transfer of power from 50 per cent to 80 per cent. Once that happens, both, the industry as well as individuals will grab hold of it and never let go.

Things we can learn from Dil Chahta Hai...

Things we can learn from Dil Chahta Hai ....... * Freaking out and enjoying life doesn't need drugs or cigarettes. * There are relationships apart from bf/gf, marriage,siblings,friendship that canbe very emotional and true. which is beyond the understanding of manypeople. * And yeah even though u may be the best of friends there is always a limitwhich should never be crossed.

Your Android could be hacked more easily than you think

Yes, this scared me out too. So apprantly your android device can be hacked very easily. Here is a link to the video that shows you how, though its about 1 hour long. If you would rather want to know the gist of it than watching it the whole way through, read on! And for those who want to watch the video: http://revision3.com/hak5/the-android-kos-attack User scenario A: You have rooted your phone and adb access (USB debugging) is active - this case it makes it very easy for the hacker to gain access. To begin with there is a tool that is installed on the hacker's phone, lets call it phone A. Now you leave your phone (Phone B) alone in a party or a public place, the hacker gets his chance and connects his phone to yours using a USB OTG cable which he/she obviously carries. Runs a script on phone A which takes advantage of an android api that allows the script to run an application over the lock screen! Once the application is runnig, you can open the main menu and do what not
