Wireless Power on the horizon

Finally, what I have been calling for for years is finally on the horizon and might be with us in full effect soon.

Powercast’s system delivers one to two watts of power over 915-megahertz radio waves using a transmitter embedded in an unobtrusive object – say, a lamp [as shown in this prototype].

This means that at least the smaller type gadgets can be charged wirelessly soon. A full replacement of power cords for laptops are still to wait for, but I think this is a good start.

Devices that can be charged: Computer Peripherals, Flashlights, Lighting, MP3 players, Phones, PDAs, Remote Controls, Toys, Watches, Wireless Headsets.
