This wireless charging technology has been available for some time but it is not available anywhere for us to use. By the looks of things that may be changing.
Basically this system sends power over the airways just like we previously mentioned in our space solar panel system. Beaming power without wires.
This means that we can have our units wherever we want and instead of making sure they are wired up we can use this technology. It has many advantages you can move anything any time you want and not have to worry about cabling. You can have portable phones etc. being recharged wherever you leave them and batteries will be fully charged whenever you leave the powered area. No longer will you need to plug your phones, PDAs, iPods etc. in at night as they will start charging the moment you enter your powered area. As I look around now I find all my sockets full and most of them have chargers on.
Of course in the current political climate I do have some questions.
How much energy is lost in the conversion process?
How does the unit control the output when units are turned on/off?
How much control do you have over who can tap into your power?
What is the range of the unit?
One very important one I have not touched on yet is what are the health implications? Living in an electromagnetic bath must be similar to living next to power pylons and they have had health issues linked with them in the past. Is the power output low enough to alleviate these concerns?
Of course when we generate cheap and virtually free energy from grass or something the power questions, not the health one, won’t be an issue but in our current situation will this technology actually be viable for home use? Wasted power won’t go down well when every watt needs to be carved out of our souls never mind people tapping in and collecting your power for free.
Nevertheless a step forward.
The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. — Eden Phillpotts (1862 – 1960)
At last, power without wires
