Wireless power - WiTricity

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/wireless-0607.html
Recently, Intel researchers have been able to demonstrate a 60-watt light bulb glow from an energy source 3 feet away while losing only 25 % of the energy they started with. This advance builds on work last year by MIT scientists, who lost most of the energy they started with in their demonstration. The Possible applications for this energy transfer includes wireless power for pacemakers, artificial hearts and laptops.

I'm not sure I'd want my pacemaker or artifical heart relying on wireless. It's difficult enough maintaining a broadband connection for my computer, and it doesn't move around.

this was nikola's original idea, but the rich and powerful chose electrical lines as that can be regulated and charged for..

tesla was also able to harness ambient energy..

so ummmm, could somebody piggy-back onto your pacemaker like they do wireless routers? **winks**

Boggles the mind to think of the possibilities the powers that be could unleash with this wonderful new toy.
