OK, so I know this is no longer breaking news, but makes an interesting story if we extrapolate it into the future…
Wireless Energy Lights Bulb from Seven Feet Away
“Researchers have successfully lit a 60-watt light bulb by transferring energy through the air from one specially designed copper coil to the bulb, which was attached to a second coil seven feet away […]. The ultimate goal: to shrink the coils and increase the distance between them so that a single base station emitting “WiTricity,” as the inventors refer to the effect, could power a roomful of rechargeable gadgets, each containing its own small coil.”
