Very cool that the more devices you are powering, the more efficient the system becomes.]]>Feb 24th 2010 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
Wireless power will be the biggest step toward the imaginary sci-fi future we have ever taken.]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
And if you are ripping your house apart to install huge copper coils why not just install some cables and put power sockets. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Yeah I bet this is just a technology by-product from their research into human teleportation at a high security classified facility disguised somewhere in the desert]]>Mar 10th 2010 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
Meh, a little cancer never hurt anybody.]]>Feb 24th 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
It isn't a tesla coil sending electricity into the air, besides long term exposure to a tesla coil never hurt anyone. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
- so, you are familiar with lots of people who've had long-term exposure to tesla coils, eh?

Yeah, where was that FDA longitudinal study about lab rats and high-level exposure to active Tesla coils? It was right here on my desk a minute ago ....]]>Feb 24th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/I don't think the electricity or electromagnetic radiation is anything to worry about. At least I don't expect it would be anything over and above what occurs naturally (i.e. thunderstorms, powerlines, the sun, flux capacitor).]]>Feb 24th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
This explains it all

And we'll have robots instead of maids to wash our clothes and make us breakfast.

Awesome]]>Feb 24th 2010 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
This is going to be one of those things where 20 years down the track they realise that it causes tuma's and cancers etc. I wouldn't want to sit in between the coils when my TV is on! :S]]>Feb 24th 2010 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/

As usual, I suppose it will be totally OK because the companies developing this technology will make lots and lots of money out of it. And that makes it fine...]]>Feb 24th 2010 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/Feb 24th 2010 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/mit-jumps-straight-to-wirelessly-powering-multiple-devices/
If you want to learn more about it and build your own for about $20, I made an instructable with everything you need to know about wireless power transmission using resonant energy transfer:
