dave_m Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 hmmmm, it could have it's uses in home stuff, but in our world, I highly doubt it. I can't see how it could transmit 6 different channels and not get them mixed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Standing in the transmission field of a 100kw source would be interesting -wedding rings turning into induction heaters and cooking fingers, A small keyring being a two turn coil and sparking at the ends.

pritch Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hmmm, there's a thought. If you can nick your neighbour's wireless internet, why not nick their power as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbuckley Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If you waste enough time looking for it, you can get back to the original article and research team. The article was published in Science mag, but best as I can I can only get issues over one year old online, and thus this is too recent. It seems they are using MHz fields, and claim its not quite straight induction, so the wedding ring thing shouldn't happen. I'm curious, as Tesla made similar claims with similar demonstraions, but it could all be just so much bullsh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekij Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I expect the order of technology to be something along the lines of1] Fusion Power Plants2] Hydrogen Powered Vehicles3] Wireless power distribution or to paraphrase "not any decade soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I wouldn't trust the date at the top of "The Daily FasciMail", but it would be nice. Along with cold fusion, world peace & free beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikienorth Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 See! I wasnt mad! I knew it. It's taken 6 years tops to get it this far from killing people, now all it needs is better range, addressability, higher current capacity, dimmability, and our loads will be lighter,our lives will be easier and our cable spends virtually nil! I'd reckon on 10-15 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itinerant baker Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 The daily mail makes science teachers cry. The Daily Moron makes me cry. :D I wouldn't even put it under the cats litter tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 hmmmm, it could have it's uses in home stuff, but in our world, I highly doubt it. I can't see how it could transmit 6 different channels and not get them mixed up I assume you're talking lights here! Why not transmit DMX wirelessly, and have the dimmer in the fixture?

themadhippy Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 so how long after we get wireless do you recon it wi'll take the dogooders to start winging about having there brains fried by the radiation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_beal Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 There was definitely some mention about the controversy of wireless technology and how it effects people when they aired the story on the BBC news... so I guess that boat has already sailed!
