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!
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever! Rich Tennant 5th Wave

Check this out http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/14/tech/innovation/wireless-electricity/index.html?c&page=4[^] Now I can charge my cellphones from my neighbour's magnetic field and forget about my electricity bill ;)

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:

:laugh: Honest constable, I'm not drunk, I'm just being pulled about by all the magnetic fields.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

My dad has a pacemaker, he can't get near the hob in our house as it's using induction for heating.

Well hopefully you won't be attracted towards the hub :) btw it leads me to another side of the coin, how will I stop my device from getting charged?
There is that - but there's also Faraday's Law[^] which means every time I cross the room I'm going to get electrocuted... :wtf:

Or go near a microwave in case the seals are damaged... The fun was when one hospital wanted to give me a MRI, until they were persuaded to run a metal detector over me first! :wtf: Airports are fun too...

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

No, I've had a few motorcycle and car accidents over the years is all.

Most geniuses are. I thought that crazier than bat shit was in the definition of genius.
