You can essentially kiss all of your electronic components good bye. And no, these cheap little electronic devices aren't made to withstand such a destructive force. Hope this clears up any notion to use such an experimental procedure.

I need to correct a little here:
1> Witricity is RF, which is the transfer of electricity (electrons) through a medium in a specific frequency band. It is not conversion of that electricity (electrons) into plasma (charged ions).
2> Plasma is not inherently destructive. There are many factors that go into what plasma does. Energy levels, frequency, material being affected, etc. I use plasma all the time in surface treating applications where I work.
3> RF (like Witricity) is also not inherently distructive. You have RF going through you everyday. Cell phones, WiFi, Radio (including the RC radio), RADAR all use RF. There's also natural RF generators (our sun is a good example).
Now I'm not saying that Witricity would not be destructive. Properly implemented and controlled it could be very useful and nondestructive. The key is an understanding of the effects that the fields will have on the local enviroment and nearby objects. And "those cheap little electronic devices" ... you'd be surprised how much RF they can handle (at specific frequencies).
