Witricity – Wireless power not just for your Wii either!

MIT Scientists Pave the Way For Wireless Battery Charging – WSJ.com

A 60-watt light bulb that glows even though it isn’t wired to a power source could pave the way for wireless recharging of cellphone and laptop batteries and the operation of mobile robots without batteries, scientists reported.

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported in the online publication of the journal Science, that they had demonstrated wireless transmission of electric power by magnetically coupled resonators. They dubbed their technology “WiTricity” for wireless electricity.
