A Step Closer To Liquid Karma and the Apocalypse

Intel sends electricity wirelessly

"Building off work unveiled last year by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, Intel Corp. demonstrated Thursday how to make a 60-watt light bulb glow from an energy source 3 feet away. The Intel team did it with relatively high efficiency, losing only a quarter of the energy the researchers started with.

Intel is in the early stages of trying to modify a laptop to accept wireless power.

Eventually, a homeowner could attach a large transmitter to a wall -- or even bury it inside the wall -- and plant many smaller receivers inside nearby tables and chairs and other pieces of furniture, creating the ultimate in recharging convenience." (SEATTLEPI)

Anyone watch the movie Southland Tales? This is only going to lead to the Apocalypse.
