Wireless Electricity? It's here! - Page 2

I'm no physics major, but I do understand it on an elementary level.  This is what was stated in the article.  It will use a resonator to generate a magnetic field, "the same magnetic fields used in cellular phones and wireless routers."

Re: the lure of convenience not to have to plug a cord into an outlet.

We dog owners might find some use for this, above our personal
laziness, if that meant there were no wires for puppies to chew
through. 

Make sure you don't walk thru the field with a prong on yr dog it might start twitching.


and human pace makers??

Jewelry will all draw power.
the losses will increases overall power consumption.

Yes I expect there are a few details that need ironing out first ! LOL

I get it ironing like eddy current losses in masses of iron good one, i didn't think chix could get physics.

Next step then, is wearable devices storing data for creating an algorithm for each individuals, every mood. Some stuff sounds okay about this modern invention and idea, and then one takes a peep at the flipside. I won't be around to see it all fluffed out, that is why it is hard to prepare kids for the future! For stuff you know, you will never know.

i guess that is a problem for educators as well, training kids for jobs they will have to do even tho those jobs have not been invented yet. where does that leave policy makers?

ETA, assuming education or a part there of is training for future employment.

The educators are paid by the parents, at the least, and by unwilling and willing tax dollars. Of course we parents are ALL concerned. 

One without an interest in their futue generation or lasting legacy will have abandoned such an option as their problem, true.

However, I would make the wager, that you care about the policy makers qualms, equal to my own measure in that matter.

Vk, couldn't find you too many 'chix' notable in Physics, true,  but the
subject was taught as a distinct Science at my (all-girl) school, and I
very much doubt they would have funded it on the curriculum if it had
been impossible to teach to females.  Didn't Marie Curie win a Nobel Prize ?
And in the modern world there are more and more women working in the
discipline:  one reasonably well-known example being Mary Katherine
Gaillard, @ Berkeley U.  And never forget, Einstein said "It should be possible
to explain the laws of physics to a Barmaid."   

I cannot claim any consistent knowledge of the subject at any advanced level,
but I 'pick up bits, here & there'  !

Particularly interesting to wimmin, and perhaps very relevent to OT, are these
two further quotes:
1  Betrand Russell
The fundamental concept in Social Science is Power, in the same sense in which
Energy is the fundamental concept of Physics.
2   Gertrude Stein
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to
realise the basic principle of physics - that action and reaction are equal and opposite,
that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.

You missed some of the more notable women in physics tsk tsk.

anyhoo don't get wrong chix are fun.


my guess is tho their brains are wired different and that's a good thing eg guys will figure how to build a great dam against all odds, men will die in the process of its construction, new science will have to be made to get it to stand, it will a monument to man's mastery over nature for generations they will marvel and be inspired. a women will look at the same map and say if we build it 2 miles that way we can have a simple dam that will do a better job at a fraction of the expense. all the guys in the room will think she is the most horrible person on earth.


an engineer told me that, it wasn't meant to be a joke.
