Popular Mechanics Article on New Technology that May Impact Shortwave Radio
 

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.

Joe,
Thanks for the tip. Is this what was done at MIT? (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...

Yes. It is a joke.

Dear Telamon,

If it is indeed a joke on someone's part, it is not funny to me. Were
this technology, with the parameters mentioned in the article, to
become commonplace, that would mean the end of shortwave radio
reception.

Best,

Joe

Don't worry. This is not going to happen.
