So first the news that MIT dweebs have prototyped wireless power sources:

They lit a 60W bulb from several feet away. This news has already turned me upside down; I already feel like the laws of physics as I thought I understood them no longer apply.
But now, I hear that one company is already going ahead with a commercial release of a wireless charging thingy:

I bet some of you have devices that use wireless power already. Like electric toothbrushes for example. But until now it couldn't happen over big distances.
I hope those MIT kids don't get cancer sitting between those things.

but i dont get it, if someone was standing in between the "transmitter" and the "receiver" with the lightbulb wouldn't the electricity have used them to get to earth/ground ???
like how could this ever be safe?

heh, 2 greek guys in the team  i guess it's based on electromagnetic induction, judging by those coils in the pic. induction was discovered by Faraday ~175 years ago. anyway, all great inventions are based on a very simple idea.

so its not wireless electricity at all?
they are just converting electricity to another form of energy which can be sent then converting back?

actually, it's the same phenomenon that causes noise in your audio signal when you have a power cable close to an audio cable with no insulation.

i keep a bunch of glowworms for lightening up my room, had to leash them up to prevent them from moving around too much though, so they're not wireless anymore
