Wireless Electricity

Witricity
In development for toyota cars , Intel PCs and more

We already have wireless internet and wireless phones. Why, then, are everyday appliances still shackled to the wall? To be sure, there are a few power-mat chargers for small gadgets like phones. But WiTricity, based in Watertown, Mass., is thinking big. Its Technology-involving a plug-in coil that creates a magnetic field, which in turn powers objects as far away as 8 ft. (2.4 m)  - has been tested on Toyota electric cars (with charging mats) , Intel PCs (with charging pads) and more. Within 10 years, says CEO Alex Gruzen, rooms could be wired so that all appliances-lamps, TVs, stereos-pull power from a central charging base.
