Moderators lazarus Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Posted June 8, 2007 This is an amazing idea....but a June "April fool" right? Scientists have sounded the death knell for the plug and power lead. In a breakthrough that sounds like something out of Star Trek, they have discovered a way of 'beaming' power across a room into a light bulb, mobile phone or laptop computer without wires or cables. In the first successful trial of its kind, the team was able to illuminate a 60-watt light bulb 7ft away. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/ar...in_page_id=1965 Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
