Gadget recharging goes wireless (Nov 14)
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/10/11/12

You could soon charge your mobile phone by simply leaving it on a desk
or tabletop, thanks to physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology who have come up with a new way to power electronic gadgets
without an electrical cable. Marin Soljacic and colleagues have devised
a wireless technique that uses an electromagnetic field to transfer
energy from a power source to a device several metres away
(arXiv.org/physics/ 0611063).

Wow... starry eyed physicists have at last caught up to electrical engineers
by 'discovering' the resonant circuit. Yep. At long last, uber - smart geeks
have discovered that a thing called an 'antenna' can be used to transfer
energy via the ether. It is so nice to see the equations of QM have at last
yielded sweet fruit...and the first thing they can think of to use their
idea on is to power up the cell phone which they no doubt used to transmit
their discovery to each other, and all the other starry eyed intrepid
seekers of knowledge. Sigh. This is exactly what happens when professing
victory over a theory that has been only half-understood since the early
days of the double slit experiment and its misinterpretation.

1899 - Tesla transfers enough energy through the air in Colorado to
light lamps 25 miles
away.

2006 - Physicists transfer enough energy through the air at MIT to
charge small batteries a
few meters away!

So what kept the electrical engineers who design these
gadgets from using the technique?

http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0611/0611063.pdf
| "In the early days of electromagnetism, before the
| electrical-wire grid was deployed, serious interest and
| effort was devoted (most notably by Nikola Tesla [1])
| towards the development of schemes to transport energy over
| long distances without any carrier medium (e.g. wirelessly).
| These efforts appear to have met with little, if any,
| success. Radiative modes of omni-directional antennas (which
| work very well for information transfer) are not suitable
| for such energy transfer, because a vast majority of energy
| is wasted into free space."

Double-A At this spacetime we all have calculators that charge in the
sun. Seems a cellular phone should have to batteries 1 in the phone and
one in the sun being charged. Switch them every late afternoon Why not?

Any of them. To claim it as them, or refute it. Much as I admire
Telsa's work with electrical engineering, and he did have a cool rock
band ;-) I really despair of the level of pseudoscience done in his
name. Tunguska normally ends up being claimed as one of his demo's...

I have visions of a zombie Tesla returning from the grave to avenge...

I'm imagining (for the movie) Brad Pitt as the avenging zombie

Walken?
