“Electronics such as phones and laptops may start shedding their power cords within a year. Wireless electricity may soon make tangled power cords a thing of the past. That’s the prediction of Eric Giler, CEO of WiTricity, a company that’s able to power light bulbs using wireless electricity that travels several feet from a power socket.”
Interesting..but something about sending electricity (as a magnetic wave) out of the wall through the air and into an appliance seems to scream “bad idea” to me.
