See this video :

A very practical solution for mobility.
Theoretically, it's safe : no radiation (like mobile phone signals), it's just a power transfer using a magnetic field. But a number of potential dangers/disadvantages may be found in the future I think.
But I think it's a great Idea. Reply

Its nothing new; toothbrushes and computers have been using this technology for at least 10 years.

May be it's not new (i dunno), but I never saw it in computers or toothbrushes, can you give examples brother ?

Those work at very close range. Real wireless power should be available anywhere in the home.

hmm ok. I never saw them before, I thought these automatic toothbrushes (i never used them) work only on batteries, but it seems they can be wireless, but there must be a transmitter somewhere plugged in the sector no?
concerning PCs, is that a component we can add to PCs ? because they don't exist in ordinary ones Reply

They do work on batteries, there is no such thing as a wireless power toothbrush commercially I am aware of. He means the actual charging process is via induction. This occurs in quite a few things and although it is 'like' wireless electricity, its not the same as the link you posted in terms of range, efficiency, and power.

^ Ok, thx Bro Dagless for the clarification.

Look for Oral B Vitality; cheaper £15 range charges on wireless charging technology and it doesn't take batteries.

do you mean they have a built-in battery inside them ? (if not why do they need charging ?) Reply

They work on capacitors, which cancel's out the need for batteries.
Many circuit boards work use capacitors instead of batteries.

Ok, that makes sense. But the video talks about a little bit different method : you don't have to charge the device and then use it, you have a magnetic power field in the house and your devices will work continuously as if they were plugged in the power jack with wires.

You're saying that the toothbrush works using only capacitors and contains no battery? I don't know how far capacitors have come but to my knowledge the capacitor would be bigger than the toothbrush if that's all it used.
