Hello All.
You may wish to read the article on page 20 of the September 2007 issue of POPULAR MECHANICS. It discusses a new wireless approach for the transmission of electricity within your home. The article is entitled "Electricity Unplugged." The frequency being transmitted in 10 MHz. Does that sound familiar to you? Best, Joe |

I have the Popular Mechanics magazine right here, it showed up in my
snail mail box three days ago.I subscribe to that magazine and Popular Science magazine.(ever since 1949) I will Quote the aricle, it says,,,, Wireless Power Transfer Is Old News- more than a century ago, Nikola Tesla built magnetic coils that transmitted power without cables.But, Tesla's coils also tended to expel burst of superhot plasma.This past June, MIT researches announced their own coil-based breakthrough in wireless electricity-called WiTricity-that's mercifully plasma free.WiTricity exploits a phenomenon known as magnetically coupled resonance, which allows two objects resonating at the same frequency to exchange energy efficiently.The team was able to wirelessly power a 60-watt light bulb using a pair of 20-in.-dia.copper coils.Drawing power from an electrical outlet, the source coil created a magnetic field, which was 7 ft.in diameter, transmitting at a frequency of 10 MHz.(Many cellphones by comparision, operate at 2 GHz) Seven feet away, a receiving coil was also resonating at 10 MHz, pulling enough energy from the field to power an attatched light bulb.Because it transmits at such a low frequency, WiTricity's magnetic field passes through intervening objects, and doesn't appear to pose a threat to people or pets.Within five years, the team hopes to release a commercial product with better power efficienty, a larger field and more compact coils, capable of running multiple devices. Unquote. (Screw MIT!!!!!!!) cuhulin |

(Been out of town and haven't had time to read the article yet). If it is the MIT "invention", do they say how they get around the "Inverse-Square" law? You can violate any laws you want -- except for the laws of physics... |

Were this technology, with the parameters mentioned in the article, to become commonplace, that would mean the end of shortwave radio reception. Best, Joe |
