Intel CTO Justin R. Rattner: Wireless Energy Resonant Link- one step closer to Star Trek!

By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:August 25, 2008

It reminds me of the M5 from Star Trek that killed a man that just happened to be in the way of its wireless power stream. Awesome!!! We’re one step closer to Star Trek now… Didn’t Tesla do this first? Whatever…, I hope it’s more advanced than a tesla/fluorescent bulb experiment, now I can leech off my neighbor’s wifi AND electricity!

Intel chief technology officer Justin Rattner demonstrated a Wireless Energy Resonant Link as he spoke at the California firm’s annual developer’s forum in San Francisco that can broadcast 60 watts of power up to three feet at IDF with 75 percent efficiency has us giddy with excitement.

Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer. Wireless electric power system that analysts say 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,” Intel researcher Josh Smith said.

How can there be no electric field when there’s a magnetic field?

Don’t get your hopes up.

The dollar comes first before helping out others in today’s society, so they’ll charge so much for it that it wouldn’t be remotely practical for your average person
