I am currently keeping six small electronic devices charged. That’s six wires, adapters, or cradles that I have to make sure are plugged in, otherwise, my phone or iPod runs out of juice at inopportune times. Wouldn’t it be great if they could just sit in my house (or at a coffee shop) and draw a charge from the air? A team of physicists are working on just that.
I once asked an electrical engineer why we didn’t have wireless power and he said, “Because it would cook anything in its path. I’m interested to see how this “long-lived resonance works. I wouldn’t be surprised if we DO have wireless power within my lifetime.
