MIT Physicists Promise Wireless Power
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article...34225&from=rss
Sounds pretty cool. The applications are endless if this could be pulled off.
"The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past. Researchers at MIT have outlined a relatively simple system that could deliver power wirelessly to devices such as laptop computers or MP3 players. In a nutshell, their solution entails installing special 'non-radiative' antennae with identical resonant frequencies on both the power transmitter and the receiving device. Any energy not diverted into a gadget or appliance is simply reabsorbed. The system currently under development is designed to operate at distances of 3 to 5 meters, but the researchers claim that it could be adapted to factory-scale applications, or miniaturized for use in the 'microscopic world.'"

The transmitter would still need to be plugged in, right? Wouldn't you need to be 3-5 meters from an outlet?

Just the other day I heard the most ignorant comment.
Some illegal immigrant condemned Arnold for not allowing ILLEGAL immigrants from obtaining Drivers Licenses in California, the state in which they ILLEGALLY entered.
we live in a corrupt and ignorant society.
