Pushing 800W of Wireless Power at 5 Meters

Posted by timothy on from the distance-rocks dept.

Joe Decker writes "The Nevada Lightning Laboratory has experimented with Nicola Tesla's methods of wireless power transmission to push 800 Watts over 5 meters, besting MITs mark of 60W over 2 meters last year. (May I dream of wireless laptop power? I hate power cords.)"

  1. Lightning Laboratory? by vortex2.71 · · Score: 1, Troll

    The key to this story is the name of the lab... Its the friggin LIGHTNING laboratory! So no, this will not ever really be useful. This is just a directed static discharge.

    Suppose my problem is to find another problem for which there is no solution. Does my problem have a solution, or not? And either way, how does that affect your claim? ;-)

    If your problem is to find problems than the solution to that is to stop having this problem by not looking for problems anymore. This doesn't affect my claim, just your psyche. If you found a problem that doesn't have a solution then the solution to that problem would not exist. This affects my claim as follows: it makes it wrong.
