Comments on Intel Wireless Power Transmission
Wireless transmission of power inflamed the imaginations of early twentieth century sf writers; Intel appears to have improved the efficiency of a basic technique. (Read
the complete story)
| "You might also enjoy this article published in 1904 - The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires by Nicola Tesla.
"Not only was it practicable to send telegraphic messages to any distance without wires, as I recognized long ago, but also to impress upon the entire globe the faint modulations of the human voice, far more still, to transmit power, in unlimited amounts, to any terrestrial distance and almost without loss."" |
| "I'm sure it's completely safe and there's nothing to worry about! Intel demonstrates wireless power for the home." (David Gerard 8/23/2008 2:00:11 PM) |
| "That's a great story! I particularly like the concern for journalists ('only four were killed' during a demonstration)..." (Bill Christensen 8/24/2008 6:38:48 AM) |
| "This is nothing new. Tesla did this a hundred years ago, but was shut down. The power companies dont like the idea of free power." (Smark 9/7/2008 2:51:04 PM) |
| "The 25% lost energy go to heating your brains, which Intel aims to replace with their CPUs. " (boyboy 9/11/2008 12:19:59 AM) |
| "Actually Tesla himself could have went on funding the wireless power transmission himself and we would probably be paying for wireless power today, but he saw the potential for it to be used as a weapon and didn't continue with the project :)" (wee 9/26/2008 3:06:26 PM) |
| "Yawn. Thats how my toothbrush recharges." (mattywix 10/20/2008 2:43:54 AM) |
