How WiTricity works

This is the new way of transmitting power to devices in a room as far a way as 9 feet. Picture it as a wireless way of transmitting electricity to say a laptop, cell phone and even the ceiling light. No wires needed but your devices receive power. It sounds a little crazy I know but this is what has been invented and tested by some MIT students and scientist, Dr Soljacic.

How WiTricity works

This invention consists of a copper coil placed on the ceiling or in the ceiling that produces a weak electro magnetic field. Only devices created to react with this field will soak up the energy. By placing a coil in each room in a house you could potentially power the whole house using this wireless or WiTricity device.

WiTricity Potential and Risks

I personally see this having some serious potential and estimate that Wal*Mart, Lowes and Home Depot will soon have WiTricity appliances in the very near future as this would be so easy to apply in many different applications for home and business. A question that pops into my head is, will this possibly cause Luekemia or some kind of cancer. That fear is always raised about those living near large power transformers and lines. The fear has never been scientifically justified as being true but if this wireless power were in every room in every house in the United States it would be a matter of time before we would possibly know because the numbers of Leukemia patients would probably drastically go up if it were a legitimate fear.
