To sum it up, the OP's link is a commercial to invest in a company pushing wireless electricity.

 

Not exactly a new concept either.  Tesla (the 19th & 20th century genius, not the 21st century car company) tried and failed to harness the power of the Earth to broadcast wireless electricity.

 

The concept is put to use with wireless phone charging stations.  These work on low voltage devices at a very short range.

 

Now applied to a world wide power grid?  How much power will it take to generate all this "free" electricity?  How many transmitter towers would be needed?   How much extra power is needed to compensate for energy lost in transmission?

 

It takes energy to make energy.  It takes energy to transmit energy.

Only 500 available! Hurry!!!

 

A $545 value for only $39!!! OMG!!!!!!!

We had a discussion here on TBD approx 10 years ago about good investment opportunities and I told some of my fellow patrons much to their dismay the marijuana industry was about to explode.

 

This is a similiar opportunity in my humble opinion.

Marijuana made sense

 

No one had to buy a $39 brief for that ?

Any other predictions from ten years ago you got right?

 

include those you got wrong as well, probably 90 percent of them you got dead wrong.

All I wanna know is will it power the electric Asian carp barrier?

 

Think of the potential!!

The search for wireless electricity is akin to the search for the perpetual motion machine.

 

I wouldn't invest much $ in that.

My Kid and I (mainly I LoL) put together a Tesla Coil for his gramnar school "famous person" fair.  He went as Tesla.

 

It powered a small fluorescent bulb.  A CFL too. Wirelessly. 

 

He went to a Catholic School.  They were very "happy" when He announced Tesla was the person He picked... LoL... Oh, and the sparks/shocks He was producing.  Very mild.  BUT He still had to plug small coil in.  LoL...

Power can get piggy backed station to station from a central location. Its not another way to generate its another way to transmit. (through the air)

 

One day electric cars will be driving our highways without ever having to stop for refueling.

 

Good points/post  toad

If this is going to explode like the marijuana industry and you recommend it as an investment why are you sitting on the sidelines?

 

Maybe he bet that money on the Vikings?

Nobody ever said I will be sitting on the sidelines for something this big , nor am I recommending to anyone what they should invest their hard earned money on.

 

Just a good topic I want my fellow patrons aware of that might change the world as we know it.

I don’t know what will be next, but one thing we know is the world is changing at such a ridiculous pace that our kids will see things we couldn’t even dream of. When I was a kid the phone had a curly cord attached to the wall, you had to rotary dial and had to wait for the 9’s and 0’s (hated those #’s!) and the whole family shared it, maybe even with other families. Now? School kids have phones that contain most of the world’s knowledge in their hands. AND IT’S STILL ACCELERATING! 

 

Who saw that? Not me....

But... What has been invented in the last 60 years that make our home life, chores around the house easier.  Talking brand new invention.
