Would you cut the last power cord ?

It's great that we have wireless email and wireless internet and stuff like that but at the end of the day it would be nice to have wireless recharge as well..That is potentially a world changing event..Well thanks to Intel, this will soon be a reality. Intel gave a successful demo showing Electricity can be sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer. Most importantly, the electricity was transmitted without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.

The wireless electric power system could revolutionize modern life by freeing devices from transformers and wall outlets. The trick with wireless power is not can you do it; it's can you do it safely and efficiently. It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field.

Examples of potential applications include airports, offices or other buildings that could be rigged to supply power to laptops, mobile telephones or other devices toted into them. The technology could also be built into plugged in computer components, such as monitors, to enable them to broadcast power to devices left on desks or carried into rooms. Initially it eliminates chargers and eventually it eliminates batteries all together.

Intel's wireless power system is in an early stage of development and still some research remains before it can be brought to market.
