New Wireless Electricity Being Developed

Toronto (dBTechno- Researchers have discovered a way to light a 60-watt light bulb by sending energy through the air.

Researchers designed a copper coil to the bulb and then attacked a second copper coil about seven feet away. The idea is that the researchers want to cut the cords on power and make it wireless. This could allow laptops to be fully plugged in and powered without actually having to have a plug coming ot o fthem.

The inventors are calling it WiTricity and could surely power an entire room of gadgets and electronics with this small coil.

Physicists have known that a moving magnetic field can produce energy but it has been hard to harness it for this type of wireless power.

Team member from MIT Aristeidis Karalis stated that teh system worked at 40% efficiency which was about expected. This is about half as much as a laptop battery.

The big deal with WiiTricity is that it is based on an idea and principles from over 100-years ago. This is something that has been a long time in the making….and we thought wireless internet was amazing.
