humble3d Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 A demo of wireless electricity... WHO REMEMBERS THIS ? MEDIA VIA THE LINK BELOW... Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT's breakthrough version, WiTricity — a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker. As the CEO of MIT-inspired WiTricity, Eric Giler has a plan to beam electric power through the air to wirelessly power your laptop or recharge your car. You may never plug in again.Why you should listenEric Giler heads WiTricity, a startup with a product straight out of science fiction: wireless electricity, beamed from a base station to your electrical devices. The technology was developed by an MIT team led by theoretical physicist Marin Soljaƒçiƒá (who won a MacArthur "genius"grant last year). Now, WiTricity is one of several startups developing tech to safely transmit power through the air -- and potentially untether our electronic age. The technology at the core of WiTricity's approach is called magnetic coupled resonance, which can provoke an energetic response at a distance between two coils, one powered, the other not. If the two coils are correctly tuned to one another, energy flows from the connected one (installed, say, on the ceiling of a room) into the other (inside, say, your laptop). Giler presented a demo of it at TEDGlobal 2009 -- and several companies are already planning to add it to their phones, cameras, TVs and other devices. What others say“A feat of physics so subtle and so profound it could change the world.” — Paul Hochman, Fast Company http://www.ted.com/speakers/eric_giler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 From what I've always heard, we've had an idea on how to make this for awhile, but no way to meter it so nobody ever wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 From what I've always heard, we've had an idea on how to make this for awhile, but no way to meter it so nobody ever wanted to.Tesla supposedly had this all worked out even before WW2. His idea was for mankind to have free and limitless/clean energy. The powers to be had other ideas for the world which certainly did not include free clean energy for which no money could be charged.I'd heard of him doing so, but it never came to be. Too bad, we could just walk around in a field of energy and never need to charge our phones by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

info999 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 can you get electrocuted by this ? :D hopefully not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By now the world could be a lot better place to live and raise kids. But the powers to be would have went bankrupt! A small group of individuals do whats best for them, not what is best for all. Its always been that way and always will. Shame really!If we optimized for long term gains vs short as a society, we wouldn't be talking about how terrible pollution and emissions are, about the ice melting and one day killing billions, then doing nothing. We also wouldn't pay CEOs millions to make the stock great for one quarter but in the long run destroy the company. But God forbid we make day trading and speculation that contributes nothing good in any way harder.Just by us not making tech purposely obsolete in a year and churning out a new model just because would have made a world of difference. Shit I bought a new phone just because the last one didn't have enough RAM, which they probably deliberately held back as other phones had more.Why do we need to make a new type of car every year? They don't even change one of them in any significant way.Just not being so wasteful in global production would have allowed us to have the same level of tech and stuff today without near as much waste.

Pequi Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Certain kinds of cancer flourish in eletromagnetic fields.So there are two upsides to this. One short term, the other will appear after a while:1)You will never have to plug anything in again.and2)Oncologists and big Pharma will make a fortune.
