Would you like to stand between the source coil and the receiver?

Hi I.J., Nikolai Tesla, for one. best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

I saw something along parallel lines the other day on Discovery Science, using Microwaves as a potential medium to transfer power for miles.

As I recall the whole problem was that it took quite a bit more power to do broadcast power than running it over wires. Broadcast energy was a cool plot element in the book Gallagher's Glacier. Old sci fi book. [^] I think the theory was that you'd have towers at intervals and you'd never have to 'charge' your car you'd just drive it around and it would suck power out of the air. Same deal with your toaster or TV, you'd just turn the device on and it had no batteries or power plug of any kind. Just a receiver.

I remember Intel demonstrating something like that. It's good to know that the idea might be taking off - I'd love to have something like that operating in a house of my own. The only thing that concerns me is security; what's to stop a person hijacking their neighbours' electricity supply and piping it to their house?
