Of course, every couple of years, someone does a study and asserts that cell phones cause brain cancer, and then someone else does a study that says this isn't true. Imagine the fun people will have studying whether wireless power causes cancer!
Oh man, I have dreamed of a wireless house for decades. I have “issues” with wires.
But a wireless laptop would be just divine.
I admit to being entirely clueless about how things like this work, but I have this question: the energy has to come from somewhere, so, who is supplying (and more importantly) paying for this magical energy that will be transfered in public places that is touted here?
There has to be a table, or some zone that the devices sit on; and according to the geek in me, the closer you are to the transmitter, the better. The laws of physics state that the the further away you get, the exponentially less power you will receive. So, I doubt you can leave your laptop in the car while you are at starbucks and get a noticable charge. I wonder how this will impact pacemakers?
This is one technologies that I will have to see to believe it. I am very open minded but there are some things that I will just have to see.

I read an article somewhat like this a year or so ago. It seems that they can “harness” the electricity that’s in our atmosphere and the electricity that “leaks” from the wires around us.
I say...show me the money!
Telsa?
Tesla knew how to transmit electrical power without wires and was going to demonstrate it by sending electrical power to Europe without wires. Edison etc put the kabosh on this - affraid the would have a problem billing for energy used. Tesla was technologically way beyond Edison. Tesla was the genius who made Edison look good, and Edison went out of his way to put Tesla down.
