Crazy MIT bastards. I wonder what kind of efficiency they have gotten so far.
Posted Fri 08 Jun 07 @ 9:02 pm
45% efficency
the rest is lost as backround electromagnetic energy

The Mythbusters got into that one.
45% is higher than I would have thought.

Yknow it'd be heaven for me if this actually works and can be fitted to handle data voltage as well.
No more crawling under dashboards to find a broken or chafed wire.
My idea of heaven.

I can't believe we are on the vurge of coming with wireless electricle power and still USING GASOLINE and other fossil fuels for energy! ... We are so advanced in so many things, but in some we are way behind times.
we should have flying cars now I tell ya!! lol or Cars that have automatic "driver" that will also control the steering instead of just cruise control.
I guess these things will come soon.
But wireless energy thats wild.

I have had a invisible fence doggy shock collar for 6 years,it uses inductive charging,all you do is set the collar on top off the control box and when you hear the beep you know it is charging.
