Wireless Power - One Step Closer

While still a matter of math theory and computer models, wireless power is starting to become something that we can hope to see in our lifetimes. The current popular theory is that using the physics phenomenon of resonance, we can get our electronic devices within a certain range of a power source, and have them recharged wirelessly. Distances could range anywhere from the nanoscopic scale all the way to hundreds of meters. Tesla, who was most noted for his discoveries and inventions in electromagnetism, did research into this very subject at the start of the 20th century. It seems rather surprising that it has taken more than a century for this to pop up again. Of course, it may take a few more years before we see something tangible that we can take home.

John Corliss says:
There are those who say that Nikola Tesla was responsible for the Tunguska explosion in 1908. If this is true, then it’s probably not a good idea to promote the ultimate “death ray” technology for this (questionably needed) convenience.

Freud says:
With people always citing concerns for residence near power lines and cell towers, I could only imagine the uproar over the introduction of this technology.

I’ve found this website…
http://www.splashpower.com/
It will start to sell products incorporating Splashpower technology (wireless power) in 2007. Does wireless power already exist?
