With the energy crisis we face today, I would hope that if they are developing this new technology that they have efficiency in mind!

Hmmm... I've not herd of this. Anyone recommend a place to read more on this subject?

Wow, this is cool, I do hope that this will catch on and be used by everyone in the near future. The only thing is, will the big boys buy this up and hide it away first, or do we really stand a chance at seeing this energy source getting out to the public?

I wonder what the possible range limit is, if there is one. Solar collecting stations in space beaming electricity to th ground would solve all of our power problems...

I actually heard on the radio a blurb that this was in the works. I immediately thought of Tesla and realized that everything I heard about free energy could very well be true. Sad that this has been kept under the rug all these years.

Once again this is nothing new, and once again I am sure my post will be buried, in 1899 at Colorado Springs Nikola Tesla transmitted 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor!

This is well documented.

This reminded me of something i did a few weeks ago. My son has one of those electric plasma balls at the side of his bed, Ya know the type you put your hands on the glass ball and watch the electricity attract to your hands. Well it was turned on and i was changing a light bulb in his bedside lamp near the plasma ball. I took out a new phillips energy saving light bulb from the box and it started glowing right there in my hand. The closer i moved my hand to the plasma ball the brighter the light bulb became yet with no direct power source.

I was intrigued so therefore tried it with a standard filament lightbulb with no result whatsoever only with the energy saving bulb.

Maybe not in the grander scheme as this thread but i thought it was amazing anyway

THAT'S AMAZING!

I'm not kidding but i swear i predicted this about half a year ago. i said to myself and my friends that wireless power is something that would revolutionize the world.

imagine if they made cars that could run on wireless power supplied to them via the road?

I'm very excited to see what intel will do with this!

The tech is not new, and it is not going anywhere.
If I understand this correctly no company will even try to bring it to market.
I can not see this being able to avoid messing up radios all around it.
Thats right police fire military and even the lowly HAM operators will know if this thing is put to full time use. And the company gets to deal with nasty sized fines from the FCC. Just ask the broadband over power lines company's about what happens when you annoy the FCC.

Isn't the wireless transmission of electrical energy called Scalar Waves Technology? I would think someone on this forum would have picked that up by now. Isn't scalar wave technology free energy with an over-unity effect of about 10? Can't you transmit scalar waves 1.5 times the speed of light, and Can't you also use a Faraday cage to shield yourself, among other things, from scalar waves?

This is actually quite easy to google. I'm really just surprised it hasn't been mentioned.

View's and opinions?

"Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage"

Thats nothing more than a parlor trick.
Its easy to energize something that close.
To do it hundreds of miles away is the hard part.
People always get off on Tesla and the mystery surrounding him.
But in reality all he figured out to do was the skin effect and our modern microwave communications such as cell phones.
And the big bankers stole it all and made massive money from it.
To try that same technology on a higher wattage level in order to distribute power creates many risks.
Unless of course we re thought the whole power thing from the start and realize units don't need that much power to function.
Think about the 12v's in a pc why does it need all that power to get it to there, 100kv, just to convert it to 12v and some small amount 650-1000watts of power dissipation.
Its about profits thats what it is about.
Imagine a light bulb using 1 watt.
Imagine a large fan motor using 5 watts.
And they charge you by the kilowatt?

Interesting - good point, and so obviously true.

isn't something like an induction coil involved?
the electricity isn't create out of thin air.... there is a power source involved.

if you think about it the electric you get in your house does not come directly from the generating plant which could be a hundred miles away ---
there are hundreds of 'transformers' between one's house and the generating plant. each transformer basically doing what the wireless transmission of electricity is technically doing (but at a far shorter distance of transmission ~wireless~)

All i see is a parlor trick
(as the poster points out)
