MIT’s wireless electricity demoed, dubbed WiTricity

from Engadget by Ryan Block

We always knew Tesla was right: MIT physics professor Marin Soljacic and his team of researchers behind the latest wireless electricity scheme have reportedly demoed their magnetically coupled resonator technology on a 60-watt lightbulb that wasn’t plugged in. Of course, no technology should be without a name, and so they’ve dubbed it WiTricity. Apparently Soljacic thinks it’s possible to commercialize WiTricity within the next few years, which would be totally amazing if it was powered by Steorn‘s humanity-saving infinite energy device.
