MIT’s Andre Kurs, Aristeidis Karalis, Robert Moffatt, Peter Fisher, and John Joannopoulos, and team leader Marin Soljacic have developed “WiTricity” (pronounced like WhyTricity, not WiiTricitity) using magnetically coupled resonance to induce an electric current from one device to another.
It worries me that they tested this on a 60W bulb, why didn’t they use a low-energy fluorescent bulb or an LED light array? Never mind. The next thing they need to do is couple this to the Steorn power supply and we will have the power outlet of the future.
