Intel Demos Wireless "Resonant" Recharging
Al writes "Last Thursday researchers from Intel demonstrated a way to recharge electronics from about meter away using a 'resonant' magnetic field. At an event held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, the researchers showed off a pair of iPod speakers connected to a 30-centimeter-wide copper coil that received power from a similar, but larger, copper coil about a meter away. The recharging technique relies on a phenomenon called resonant coupling, in which objects can exchange energy when tuned to resonate at the same frequency. A similar approach was developed by researchers at MIT in 2007, and spun off into a company called WiTricity. This company has already developed a few products that use resonant coupling to recharge, including a car battery."
It's probably patentable in one way or another.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Thank You! I bet my buddy here that someone in the first 10 comments would mention Tesla.
Of course he still thinks we're talking about music.
ed duval the very last person
Didn't Tesla figure this stuff out decades ago, before the US government seized all his research?

I love it how some mod managed to moderate about 50% of the comments here trolls... Including this one which actually isn't a troll.
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
someone here has forgotten the definition of troll
