            Don't worry about getting zapped: Hall assures that the magnetic fields used to transfer energy are "perfectly safe" -- in fact, they are the same kind of fields used in Wi-Fi routers.

            Surely Wifi routers use radio waves, not magnetic fields?

                  There is a problem with this. Some of my devices need a fair amount of power. And I have a number of metal plates that have been attached to various bones over the years... :omg:

                      Beat me to it! The problem was his backers dropped him because he wanted to make it free to everyone and the backers wanted to exploit it!

                                  The laws of physics makes this one of the most inefficient and useless ideas except for really short range stuff, like putting your phone on a pad or the way your cordless toothbrush recharges itself through induction. Marc
