Those whiz kids at MIT have been at it again! They have lit up a 60W lightbulb by wireless transmission at a distance of 2 metres. At a staggering 40 percent efficiency. Oh brave new world! Is there nothing that these people can’t achieve?

Looks like a high powered team with some sophisticated gear.

Thanks Morrie, we don’t get a lot of news from 2007 in Queensland yet.
I notice that a robust discussion followed

LOL.
It came up as a link on a USA Today site where I was reading about the shooting. I did miss the dateline, but the discussion is recent. I suspect that the links are tailored to my recent searches on cameras. Either that or it is the almighty power of the MIT publicity machine.

Yep, I’ve noticed that more and more recently.

Is this the same sort of technology that Tesla was talking about before WWII?
