This is basically the technology which Nicola Tesla wore out his life on trying to get someone to help him develop. See the Movie "Prestige". What he did in Colorado Springs and then on Long Island is fact which was largely scoffed at and ignored. The main reason Westinghouse and JP Morgan wouldn"t fund such research is that it was considered very difficult or impossible to sell power to people who can collect it without being connected. If you can indeed transmit power efficiently in this manner then building roadways with transmitters and cars as receivers could finally give us a way to simple and clean transport. This is good that someone is again trying to do this, I hope this time that you have a way to meter and sell the power you are transmitting. Cell phone technology should enable such communication between transmitter and receiver. Good luck.

Looks remarkably similar to resonant charging devices I've worked on in the past. The trick is to keep the frequencies fairly low eg under 100kHz and to resonantly couple two high Q LC systems. Bill Beatty has also written a LOT about this kind of thing, here:

Presented by Dirk Bruere and Marc Power on ResonanceFM 104.4

I have been told by many retired Electricians and Pacific Bell retirees that
the wireless energy is creating health problems on the population.

Wireless energy is not grounded as our normal electricity and telephone is grounded. The towers are getting overloaded every single day. When the signal
which is programmed to go to a certain tower, if that tower is overloaded, that
signal will then seek the next source of our electrical poles, telephone poles,
even our TV antennas. You can hear the static on the line of your cell phones
and home telephones. My real estate agent says she can tell when her cell
phone is going to ring by the static on her computer screen. So she knows her
cell phone is about to ring, even before it rings. The static energy is so
overwhelming that the population has been noticing their home telephone signal
gets lost a lot. Too many people are experiencing their dialed number has
somehow been rerouted to a lot of fax lines. They hit their redial button
and viola, the same dialed number goes to the original source.
This overloaded situation seems to be more of a problem in states of
overpopulation and overconsumption of this wireless energy source.
The towers they have cannot handle the load of the millions of cell phones already
in use.

This wireless energy transfer seems to me it will only increase the problem
of overload.

How efficient could this transfer of energy potentially be in comparison to running an old fashioned wire? Intuitively I would expect there would be large losses?

I, too worry that the wireless transmission will overload the towers. My bus driver told me that he has seen towers sag under the enormous weight of all of that energy, only to fall onto the highways and byways and kill innocent people. My neigbor told me that he knows when a cellphone call to him is about to happen because he hears a voice that tells him. I can understand all of this, and I am worried.

It would be amazing if they get the system to work without significant energy loss. It doesn't need to be a 100 or even 70% efficient system considering the power losses via power lines. Given time I'm sure scientists will perfect the technique until then it looks like we'll be dragging cables around a little bit longer

Congratulations.., it is a very good move towards mobile computing.

"While rooted in well-known laws of physics, non-radiative energy transfer is a novel application no one seems to have pursued before."

Yeah, except perhaps by Nicola Tesla, over a hundred years ago... !

There is already large losses being created by electrical power transmission
lines. As in any power source, including wireless energy towers, they
produce a static energy. Now take this overloaded signal, which is loaded
with an electrical and magnetic field, add it to an also electrical and
magnetic charge of static, and the static has a way to be moved nearer
to the population and deposited on our electrical transmission poles and TV
antennas.
Most built up areas surrounding by those high wires are now experiencing
that harsh, raspy hum or buzz on the electrical power transmission lines or poles.
Part of that harsh hum or buzz is from electrical magnetic interference or
EMI. Now that our electrical power transmission lines are now being
overloaded with the signals of wireless energy, that is somehow
producing (I am told by retired electricians, and retired electrical transmission line
repairman) another electrical problem called "Corona Discharge".
Both are said to cause health problems on the population if the power companies
ignore the problems. Which because most towns are hearing more of their electrical power transmission lines hum or buzz, then I guess you could say
they could be ignoring this increasing situation

I don't think they are talking about sending energy to power the phones over cell lines, they would have to create magnetic fields the entire size of their service areas and that would be ridiculous. I do think they mean that you could plug in the device in your car or office and it would create a marginal magnetic field that would reach your device and charge it like that...

I never intended my statement to have anything to do with sending energy
to power poles. That is your interpretation.
Wireless energy is already extending its energy fields onto our electrical
power transmission poles. I am sure it was not on purpose, but the fact is
that it is an after affect of wireless energy technology.

I find it hard to believe anyone who reads physorg.com can be so stupid.....Dboots
At the very least copy your comments into MS Word and use grammar check!
By the way the Buzz you are referring to is the by-product of your ignorance and complete misunderstanding of basic physics and electrical theory.
P.S. Tesla RULES!

r raters

Also electromagnetic interferences and corona discharges are know to
rule in certain fields that they are applied.

For all I know it could be an effect of the unregulated industry of
the new BLUE TOOTH TECHNOLOGY.

Even the organism deep in the sea harvests energy from its environment, for its existence.

The work undertaken by Tesla in regards to "free energy" has not been duplicated, understood nor even philosophically converted to any form of general understanding for the intellectual or layman since its origin at Colorado Springs. Tesla was not creating energy for retransmission for this particular application. On the contrary, the energy in question was already present and a device was created in his mind that would promote the collection of this energy and subsequent retransmission by wire to the device(s) intended. In other words, additional electromagnetic radiation whether it be omni-directional or directed, was not the intent. The energy was to be derived from existing energy sources in the environment. Additional information on this subject is sketchy as the works of Tesla were immediately confiscated on his death from his New York apartment.

G Michael

Yeah Tesla was great. Even nanoscience gave him his own category
of nanoTesla or nT. So his work gets incorporated a lot of what
ever they know about his works one way or the other.

Transmitting yet another type of wireless energy would really cause more worry than benefit to the public. We have already having so many EM wave in the atmosphere, why do we need anymore?
Wouldn't it be better if we coat those small electronic gadgets with solar-energy harvesting polymers and thus enable them to recharge themselves?

@dboots:
Have you ever used an electric toothbrush? Probably not, but FYI: the toothbrush, encased entirely in plastic, is placed on a holder which, again, is entirely encased in plastic. Unless this new-fangled plastic has some conductive properties I'm unaware of, the dang thing just charges by itself! Well, given a spinning magnet and a few loops YOU TOO can transmit "free energy." This isn't a good example, I'm aware, for you nit-pickers (yadda yadda electro-magnets != free energy, yadda yadda) but the concept is pretty dang close, and you don't see MY teeth falling out of my head!

...hell, the Human Body emits radiation. It's called Infra-red... I'm sure all the artificial sweeteners, trans fats, smoke inhalation and alcohol ingestion is just FINE for you. Let's worry about HEAT.

Dirk

If resonant charging devices use ultra low frequency's, something like that has the potential to interrupt this planet of Earths own biorhythms. These biorhythms are inside of the planet as well as our surrounding atmosphere. Inside of our planet their are many types of resonant cavities. We humans have resonant cavity's that also if they get displaced or a scattering effect would take place would cause Earth and also us humans
EQUILIBRIUMS to sort of rock similar to magnetic poles stabilizing a field. This also has the potential to create sound distortions.

Argiod

I don't believe everything I read, so just because a story states the technology is geared towards non-radiative energy transfer does not mean the theory worked out.
It is entirely possible that although they would like it to be a non-radiative field does not
mean they are not also experimenting in the radiative energy transfer fields also.

Life 7770

In your statement you believe this technology is meant to possibly create a marginal magnetic field.
Our walls inside of our homes could be a type of marginal magnetic fields, full of electrical wiring and copper tubing. If your reasoning can be applied to automobiles why couldn't it then be applied to the interior of our homes and reach all of our
devices of appliances and telephones and TVs also?

Garcier

If what you say is correct, then if the energy is to be derived from existing energy sources then we would have no option but to add more energy to this existing field and that energy that would be needed to add could only be additional
electromagnetic fields induced and they must also have a radiative field.

Then this type of technology would be similar to how they produce TOROIDALS IN A TOKAMAK wouldn't it? Using the plasma current to generate the helical component
of the magnetic field which would be necessary for stable equilibrium.

Garcier I am only a layperson. Is a toroidal a type of Tesla Theory?

Beck

I am told that our new containers on our grocery shelves like the brand new soda cans that the product itself now almost costs twice as much as it did a year ago,
that the container they added silicon or some type of plastic to the mix of the soda can container that has magnetic properties. If they can induce this in one plastic,
maybe they have created a silicon plastic of some type that does have conductive properties, or conductive gases of some sort inside the plastic???
Are you saying your electric toothbrush holder has the ability to RECHARGE ITSELF,
without being plugged in????


MIS

I agree with you. This type of technology I don't think could be contained 100%,
outside of a lab experiment, so therefore it would somehow harm our environment including also us humans. We humans already have conductive properties which is
our tissue. And electromagnetic radiation would scare the heck out of me
if Life7770 statement of this technology being used to create even a marginal magnetic field to any devices within the sphere of our autos and we are already in those autos.

Marginal magnetic fields of any type would have the ability to become larger if that same marginal magnetic field passed by any other magnetic field with opposite poles because opposite poles attract. This applies to atoms, cells, molecules.
Displaced fields, transferring protons and electrons, etc.

Any technology that possible has the ability to interfere with Earths own Magnetic Poles would need additional parameters of magnetism because anything introduced like this would have the potential to destabilize the field creating a scattering effect of sorts and something else would be needed to be introduced to somehow
stabilize the field that is interrupted.

WE DO NEED MORE TECHNOLOGY'S AIMED AT SOLAR POWER RATHER THAN AWAY FROM SOLAR POWER.

and bECK

TOO MUCH HEAT UPSETS THE SUGARS, THE GLUCOSE THAT EACH AND EVERY LIVING MICRO ORGANISM INCLUDING US HUMANS NEED TO SURVIVE.
And if we radiate infrared then maybe that is what is causing
DIABETES to be on the uprise around the whole world in only the last 10 years!

We can harvest energy from the full spectrum of waves around us.

Jay

Which means they have moved many experiments that should still be inside the
boxes of the lab settings, and they have moved them already outside to attempt
harness all the energy around us.

And to harness these waves around us, means they must create a harness for it
somehow. Probably means they then have also moved some of their nuclear fusion
tests outside among us too.

Because to create a harness of this magnitude, the only thing they have created to my knowledge that could maybe harness the waves is some type ;of Tokamak that would produce toroidals of doughnut shaped magnetic fields if they were trying to harvest energy from the color sprectrum, I would think.
