Crispy Tech

From TG Daily:

However, wireless power has not become a feasible mass market application, mainly because of its inefficiency: Generally, wireless power is distributed via electromagnetic radiation, where radiation spreads in all directions, which mens that the vast majority of power ends up in free space and is wasted.

MIT researchers now say that they have found a new method to direct a wireless power stream into a specific direction. Their “WiTricity” (“Wireless elecTricity”) method uses coupled resonant objects, which aims to create a scenario where two objects - the power source and the receiver – interact strongly with eachother, while there is weak interaction with everything else. The MIT project focused on magnetically coupled resonants, which revealed that this approach can identify the strongly coupled object in this system, even when the distance between them was several times larger than the sizes of the resonant objects.

This will be good news for those who want to get the most out of their wireless internet surfing. I have always been fascinated with the way this networks communicate over the atmosphere in the absence of cables and knowing that this technology will be further enhanced through the use of magnets, is already beyond fascinating.

I will be thanking magnetic fields the next time I open my browser and check my emails. It never knew how it would be helping so many people especially those who work their asses at home. Home-based jobs, anyone? Even San Diego business lawyers need home-based jobs too I suppose. Life is too hard these days to just sit by and watch the trees grow. Good thing wireless internet allows us to get more jobs at a time. Again, thanks to magnetic fields. What would we ever do without you.
