Much has been written about wireless component connectivity. The most recent publicity surrounds the "WirelessHD" initiative - an incipient standard for wirelessly interconnecting signal processing components to an HDTV display. This is a great concept except one big cord remains - the power cord.

Wireless power has been a much sought-after technology since Nikola Tesla first demonstrated the possibilities in the early 1900's. Inductive battery recharging technologies have recently been aggressively explored for cordless cell phone applications, but have not been seriously commercialized. However, a recent exciting innovation being developed by...

Hahahah...good April Fool's joke!

Outstanding accomplishment... Wish I had a piece of this company.

This is great. There is just enough pseudo science to make it sound plausible.

I do think it amusing that the compression does not produce a explosion. The last time I checked that is exactly how an atomic bomb works.

An APC will happen someday. The technical issues are huge and the safety problems are even bigger. I am aware of the article that was referenced, but even there, it is the future.

Now give me a hydrogen fuel cell for my house that runs on water, and I am golden.
