Intel cuts electric cords with wireless power system


news.yahoo.com
Intel chief technology officer Justin Rattner demonstrated a Wireless Energy Resonant Link as he spoke at the California firm's annual developers forum in San Francisco.

Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer.

Most importantly, the electricity was transmitted without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.

It could be possible to charge for electricity for cars by having the cars maintain an onboard regulated meter connected wirelessly to the highway network. Does anyone have a patent on that yet??

It very well could be...But I wonder how Intel is going to arrange paying Tesla his due? Did Tesla actually have patents on his tech? And how can they pay royalties to a dead man?
Speaking of Tesla...
Tesla Motors
It should be pointed out that these cars don't rely on "wireless tech" though.

Tesla did so much back in his day it was unreal. And unfortunately, a good portion of it will probably not be real for us for a long time.

Probably because the Big Oil Companies are trying so hard to gouge every penny of profit they can before the world oil supplies are exhausted. But you can also bet that they've already developed alternative tech that doesn't rely on oil...So that they can start gouging profits with that too.

Shhhhh! Don't give 'em any more bright ideas! Don't you think we're getting gouged enough as it is already?

Yeah, I thought about that.

Problem I hit was, if someone simply disables the wireless meter, you can't exactly shut down an entire highway just to cut off that one car's usage of power.

And to MidnightDStroyer, yes, Tesla patented just about everything he had proven.
But your point still stands, there's no-one to pay royalties to.

Couldn't it be something as simple as a wireless toll taker. It is obvious if you do not pay and photos are taken. Tickets are mailed to you home. If you are a chronic offender you are stopped and ofcourse it will all be tied in to your car's registration.

You know come to think of it I probably would not like the idea of the government knowing exactly when and where I am driving just on principle. Don't know if adequate privacy safeguards could be installed in the monitoring system?? But I love the tech!!

thats what they said about the devil machine...i mean the fax machine when it first came out

they said the same thing about the telephone

the television

basically - anything that transcends the common "word of mouth" process of communication is "not going to be a good thing"

I've heard, for almost 12 years now, that Cell Phones cause brain cancer

....12 yeras of accusations and not a single shred of proof.

This will be revolutionary.

No reason to fear it -- embrace it.

I think I read they were working on this technology a year, probably more ago
