Wireless Power?

[Hent]

Sounds pretty damn cool.

Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer.
Most importantly, the electricity was transmitted without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.

That is cool. Almost unbelievable. People are just getting almost too smart these days.

I hate to be a downer, but there are two things come to mind;

1.) Wireless power transmission has been around for quite a while, however,
2.) even if Intel demonstrated it without killing anyone, the long term effects of using it might. Intel says the human body is not affected by magnetic fields, but many argue otherwise.

The World Health Organization takes a rather neutral stance on the subject, but then again, wireless power transmission isn't yet widespread either. We may very well find out that it is dangerous 20 or 30 years after the majority of homes have it. Look at hormone replacement therapy for women; for 20+ years it was touted as a wonder-treatment until the last ten or so when studies started showing that it can and does cause numerous and serious side effects....including serious risk for cancer.

Just my personal take on wireless electricity. Take it for what it's worth.
