i mean this is real basic basic basics of the behavior of electrical energy.

the only thing mind boggling to me is that there are so many people not more familiar with how the nonpersonal parts of the universe they live in actually works.


It's only been very recent that anyone as EVER been able to get a sufficient amount of electrical charge transferred safely however.

If it can be proven that huge amounts of electricity can be generated with nothing but static and physical forces and then distributed wirelessly without bringing a plane down or electrocuting anyone then Tesla's dream of free electricity at a large scale could be a reality. It could then be bye-bye to electrical meters and the worry about climate change as far as the electricity sector of the energy industry is concerned. If it can be repeated for cars and diesel trains, then no more worries about oil.

i've seen things being charged wirelessly before, using a special mat and some kind of device that plugs into the battery of whatever's being charged.

i'll be excited when i can buy it and have a laptop sit at my desk with no wires.... apart from the DVI cable for the extra screen (wireless HDMI, anyone?), the mouse (could go bluetooth), and the eSATA HDD (using cable for that cos cable is fucking faster)

Hopefully by the time wireless electricity is made commercially available more WiFi points get installed so I can play... from my garden. Shame about the British weather, though.

Of course, that's a recipe for super-powers if I've ever heard of one.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.
