And why would that be?
What they're doing here... isn't new.
We've been using induction for centuries, literally.
How do you think induction based cook-tops work?
How do you think transformers work- in your power supplies, computers, everything.
How do you think farmers have been stealing power from powerlines for years?
Besides which: Although Tesla pioneered wireless power, he wasn't using this type of induction: he was using the ground itself (IIRC)
His tesla coil, however, was / is an air-cored transformer, ie, induction based.Comment

Tesla showed this over 100 years ago
# 1893: Nikola Tesla demonstrated the illumination of vacuum bulbs wirelessly (without any wires connected to the bulbs) at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
He had bulbs people could pick up, the bulbs were powered by a system on the ceiling that powered them wirelessly.Last edited by collegeboobies; 01-13-2009, 07:29 PM.Comment

I don't get it whats the big deal?
Induction has been around for a long time. My toothbrush charges via induction, and some electric cars use induction to charge. Telsa invented induction so what company is showing off induction at CES and claiming it as their own? We owe Tesla for alot of stuff we use every day. Everything should have his name on it.Comment

The big deal is that it's finally being implemented on a broader, more powerful scale, without the health risks and power limitations.
In actuality what is being "celebrated" is that such technology has evolved to the point where finally it can become the primary means of powering all electronic devices instead of a random anomaly here and there.

Just what I was thinking... it looks like the receiver needs to be pretty close to the coil to work... and the EMF these things create can't be good for you..Comment

Maybe you're right, but it seems to be that if this was so good it would have been implemented long ago. Maybe its just not effecient, ie, too much power loss over long range? Who knows...The big deal is that it's finally being implemented on a broader, more powerful scale, without the health risks and power limitations.

It's weird how he kept saying "Transfered" instead of Trasmitted. It sounded to me like he was implying a Lossless transfer of energy. Makes me go HHhmmmm..Comment
