Eric Giler demos wireless electricity
www.ted.com Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT’s breakthrough version, WiTricity — a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the “Sixth Sense” wearable tech, and “Lost” producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http Watch a highlight reel of the Top 10 TEDTalks at www.ted.com

Nikola Tesla – Serb born in the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Marin Soljačić – Croatian born in Yugoslavia.
Both evidently had to move to USA in order to fully realize their talents.

only 50% efficiency was what he mentioned at first, im assuming they didnt improve much upon it. does anyone know if the “powermat” device runs using this technology?

Wireless power is used for factory automation. Look for “ABB WISA”

It’s as Rhinis said. The difference is in this guy’s solution being resonant technology, magnetic instead of electric and all that. It is not a small difference.

The man did not continue to mention that nikola tesla did exactly what he just did in his flourescent light tube demonstrations to the public. If you don’t believe me, wiki it. Tesla was a hundred years ahead of his time.
