The researchers used the system to power a 60-W light bulb placed two metres from a wireless transmitter, and say that it could be scaled down for use in portable devices without a loss of efficiency."[/i]<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2007/20070620-wirelesspower.jpg" /><br /><br />Read the article to see how they have overcome the problem of omnidirectional power output. Obviously, the next logical conclusion is transporter beams, energy shields and transporters are in the works, right? :wink:
