Wireless Power As Soon As 2011?
Almost a year ago i got all excited and giddy over the concept of Wireless Power and how magical and fantastic it would be in the realms of fantasy and science fiction as at the time the idea seemed to be way off in terms of actually, you know, happening.
It would appear atleast that last part was utter bollocks.
Wireless power is much, much closer to actually making it’s way into our homes and i’m really rather excited by that, after the jump we have a Gent from a new company called - funnily enough - WiTricity Corp. telling us all about our futures.
Now i’m sure it’s not just me who thinks this news is awesome.
Shame the BBC News lady was a bit of a snotty cow towards the end.

Oh she was indeed a clem, saw it the other day and wanted to slap her, she cut him off loads, I’d have quite happily had a good full 10 mins report on that, minimum. Seems the News these days like to just give you half a story on anything remotely interesting and full blown reports on paedo singers when they die.
Although on the topic of Witricity, interesting name for an interesting concept. I have to say the “Wi” bit doesn’t really call it wireless, I mean, normal electricity through cables could also be Witricity as it goes down wires. But hey, they came up with it, let them call it what they want. For me though I’d have called it….dunno, but something better than Witricity, it’s just a bit gay! However, can’t wait for it to start up, imagine if eventually we could get rid of the rats nests behind pcs?!?! Only thing is though, if you buy new kit surely you’ll have to tune it to individual frequencies, so stuff needing different voltages don’t interfer with each other (inappropriately).
