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 object
