Default Intel Demos Bizarre Tesla-esque Wireless Power....

Quote:
Intel rounds off its developers forum with a wild new upcoming tech

Wireless is one of those hot tech catch-alls of the new millennium. There's wireless broadcasters and receivers, utilizing such technology as WiMax, 802.11n, and Bluetooth. There's wireless gaming controllers. There's just about wireless everything -- except power transmission.

Wireless power transmission is something that inventor Nikolai Tesla came up with over a century ago and claimed to have perfected. However, his mysterious work vanished with his death, and for decades the topic was left untouched. Now there has been a resurgence in interest with several companies competing to becoming the first to offer commercially broadcast wireless power.

At the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) this month, Intel demoed just such a system. Using two large coils it showcased a system that could send 60 watts of power at 75 percent efficiency up to 3 feet. The power was enough to light up a bulb at the receiving end.

Justin Rattner, Intel’s chief technology officer describes, "Something like this technology could be embedded in tables and work surfaces, so as soon as you put down an appropriately equipped device it would immediately begin drawing power."

A computer-powering desk is just what Intel is cooking up in fact. It says a desk with embedded transmission equipment could power laptops and eliminate the need for messy cables and proprietary connectors.

Now that would be cool. Wonder about the health implications are of transmitting through the air...

Cue the tinfoil hat crowd...

Haha I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't want what's left of my brain to get cooked.
