Power via Wireless

Interesting concept, but personally, I'd like to see more data on the magnetic fields. I can envision someone with a pacemaker dropping dead walking in to my house....

A cordless future for electricity? - CNN.com

Quote:
(CNN) -- Electronics such as phones and laptops may start shedding their power cords within a year.
Wireless electricity may soon make tangled power cords a thing of the past.


That's the prediction of Eric Giler, CEO of WiTricity, a company that's able to power light bulbs using wireless electricity that travels several feet from a power socket.

WiTricity's version of wireless electricity -- which converts power into a magnetic field and sends it sailing through the air at a particular frequency -- still needs to be refined a bit, he said, but should be commercially available soon.
