More is merrier for wireless power supply

alt text

The notion of transmitting power over the air is at least 100 years old, with methods from high-powered microwaves to focused beams of infrared being tested.

Nikola Tesla with his invention, a wireless lightbulb powered by the electric field surrounding it.

The Tesla effect is a "world system" for "the transmission of electrical energy without wires" that depends upon electrical conductivity was proposed by Tesla. An operator uses the Tesla effect, wirelessly transfering electrical energy to a receiving device.

I love the idea, but it seems problematic. We are being zapped by all kinds of radiation everywhere we go. This will just add even more. Could this have a negative impact on cell phone signals?

I'm more interested in the interaction between these electric fields and a large solar flare.

Having 10W lasers around the home is not going to be a good idea- see a 1W laser heating up a cinder block. And i think Tesla wanted to transmit power with sparks jumping through the air. I think we are better with short range transmision for charging cell's and other mobile devices. Large range may have unkown conqences.

I'd like to see some long term science instead of a sales brochure. My feeling is arthritis, cancer, and other cellular and physical damage would be a large scale side affect. Is this modern day industry getting ready to push the current 'tobacco' on us only to find out 20 years later the damage.it does? I do not want to be that guinea pig. cheers, Phil

There are only certain frequencies that the FCC will allow this technology to run at but there's always a risk involved when your exploring new applications for things, like this.
