There’s always been stray electricity bouncing invisibly and silently here and there all around us. But until now, we’ve never been able to capture it and power devices. But one company has cracked the code, Wire-free charging of: cell phones, gaming devices, PDA’s, handheld devices, wireless keyboards and wireless computer peripherals will soon be a reality.
A Pennsylvania-based company, Powercast, has developed a device that transmits low voltage electricity through the air. A transmitter plugs into a wall socket and transmits DC power over radio waves (RF) to an embedded receiver in the device. Currently devices within a few feet of the transmitter can be charged without messy wiring. Through it, no need for batteries, power adaptors and wires – reduce waste and clatter, allows energy conservation through its powering on feature, and a back-up power source, if we ran out of batteries.
The firm's radio-wave-receiving miracle device trumps existing attempts by "adjusting to variations in load and field strength while maintaining a constant DC voltage," essentially ensuring that only low wattages are flung around. The system basically consists of two parts -- a wall-plug transmitter and a "dime-sized receiver" that handles the real magic -- and energy is instantly transmitted whenever that disc comes within a yard or so of its tag-team partner. Get ready folks, if all goes well, Powercast will be shipping "many millions of units" by the end of 2008 -- and maybe even sooner.

Though, we have heard of the project TESLA, its also a wireless electricity developed by Nikola Tesla on 1899 transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor. Anybody who knows more about wireless electricity, we would be very happy to hear your comments. Either Nokala Tesla’s or Powercasts’s or anybody interested with these magnificent breakthroughs, please feel free to post your comments.
