Re: witricity legality?

I havnt looked into this one bit, but does any one know where the power loss comes from?

After a quick wiki search...

It seems as if this technology is similar to transformers. either steup up or step down, so if the coils were identical, then theres no ups or downs but a direct transfer of energy via electromagnetic field. So...this makes me think that the 40% efficiency @ 7feet away conducted by MIT could have been more efficient if the two coils were close to one another....similar to a transformer. Is the high frequency necessary? I can feel the 60Hz "buzz" from my desk lamp if I put a metal object close to the base of the lamp. It doesnt seem to be affecting anything.....I will try a simple coil test right after I publish my post, Ill repost with the results form my Mastercraft Multimeter.


BRB!
