MIT crafts wireless electricity

Posted by Michael Kanellos
A team of scientists from MIT has come up with a way to light a 60-watt lightbulb. The trick is that the bulb is located about seven feet from the power source and no wires connect the two.

its just me...but i wouldn't want to stand between the source and the bulb!

didn't this get invented already? lightning?

That's it??? Can't wait for this to be on daily planet or something.

So when this becomes reality, we can expect the usual suspects to be suspicious of EMR or something causing radiation and giving passers-by cancer... Your cell phone gave me cancer!

Edit ^^Looks like someone is already suspicious

Sounds like they expanded on Tesla's idea. Sounds cool.

"weak interaction with ambient objects". Bet the scientists doing the test were warm in their lead suits though!

and who said radio was safe anyways?

seems to me that cells also vibrate on a reasonant frequency...I wonder if there is any overlap of frequency? hmmm...

I wish people would stop fiddling with this stuff and forcus on the more important things, like comfortable condoms.

Sweet, I'll be able to unwrap the extension cord powering my hot tub. Duct tape in an insulator, right?
