Warning: Even though these microwaves are about as harmful as the leakage from an ordinary microwave oven (not much), do not put computers, televisions, other sensitive electrical equipment, food, liquids, paper, glass, flammable substances, magnets, or living things in between the base and satellite units. Just in case.
:eek: "Just in case"? What? They didn't TEST these things?:doh:

All kidding aside, I was just telling a friend that wireless electricity is something we'll be seeing more and more of in the near future. We're not too far from having all electronic equipment (TVs, DVRs, Stereos w/ speakers, cable, etc.) being wireless, with no more bulky wires behind the entertainment center. I would imagine that my children will see all this technology commonplace in their lifetimes.

From the description that the antennas must be "aimed at each other", it sounds as though the equipment might have to be in the same room. Line of sight would preclude going through walls or any other item that blocks the view. The distance they could be connected over would certainly be decreased by any obstacles. I'm skeptical of that much microwave power being almost harmless, expecially to small children and pets, otherwise why the no liabilty clause?

I'm going to wait to see how much the liablity lawsuits bring in first!:doh: :rolleyes:

so as long as there's absolutely nothing between the two bases, it's fine. Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of wireless if you can't have anything around the "imaginary" cord?

Sure, I have a fairly high speed IP.
That link tried to load for over an hour, but it never did.:( I even tried to reload it several times from your link and pushed refresh more time than I can count. It won't work for me. Maybe I'll try the old fashioned way and go to the actual blog and look for a link that might take me to where you linked it to. Or maybe try it in SA next week.:D

Ok it finally worked now late at night. YOU should warn people that video is over ten minutes long! And that maybe your neighbors could steal your power with this.:p
Did you watch the whole video?

Hey watch THIS! (http://www.whatthebleep.com/trailer/) for something to think about.
