Wireless Power and Electricity Coming Soon!

[admin]

Chinese manufacturer Haier decided to steal the show at CES this week by showing off a 32-inch TV set at CES that is running completely wirelessly. And when we say completely... we mean COMPLETELY. In addition to wireless HDMI transmission the 32-inch TV is also receiving wireless POWER. Look, Ma, no wires. No, seriously.

Good read,Just one thing most companies can't get wireless internet to work properly and these guys are talking wireless power. Somethings should be left alone.

Nikola Tesla would be proud!

Why can you imagine your car being an electric motor that runs on wireless power. Imagine getting rid of power lines. I know the argument was lost, but it would be funny if we ended up doing that anyway.

It would certainly be cool for all your home appliances, lamps etc. That would be awesome.

That would be great if and when they are able to do it right, My only gripe is that companies push things into production before they are ready. Now let's say you buy one of these TVs now you have it setup your sitting on the couch drinking a beer watching the game it's the 4thQ 0:30 left on the clock your team is driving to the end zone and the TV blacks out,so you run to the other TV in the house but you missed the game wining touchdown because a company pushed a new technology on to the market before it was ready. Will it be like wireless internet which lags and takes forever sometimes to load up page that's all I asking for make sure that it's ready for prime time. Sorry for the long response.

Some companies do that, but not all. Software companies are the worst for it though.

This really isn't all that new...I demonstrated this very concept in a science project in the early sixties and it can be duplicated. It's really simple...electrical current simply follows magnetic lines of flux to a contact. As long as the flux lines (not to be confused with the Flux Capacitor) can bend around an interference, they can conduct current.

This little tidbit was discovered when an electrical wire going from a 1.5V D Cell battery to a motor using a strong horseshoe magnet in a toy boat broke off and the motor was still running. Found that current was transferred up to about 6 inches away. It stands to reason...more available current with stronger, more focused magnetic lines of flux means farther transfer distances. Anyone can repeat the experiment--I'd use a horseshoe magnet motor.

Can imagine that they are focusing the magnetic field to induce a better transfer of current, but there is still that magnetic field that can raise havoc with everything else. It's not such a good idea--in fact, the class instructor, a stereo buff at the time, did a check of some sort and found all kinds of noise was generated from the transfer (have no idea what the noise was). Maybe they have figured out a way around that problem, and maybe not. But, before passing judgment, there is a need for more info, such as: potential for noise generation in audio/video equipment, interference caused by the magnetic fields, are they using two way DC power transmission or single way AC transmission, etc.

Some Scientest will Bombard Lab Rats with 1000 times the realworld field strength for a Year, and say it causes Cancer.

I do like the Idea, hope it works out.

I remember going to a seminar a few years ago, showing an Inductive house.
The walls were inductive panels and you could put a light or outlet anywhere you wanted on those panels.
The efficiency wasn't 100%. Pretty cool concept though.
