Often with so many gizmos at our disposal, one doesn’t have enough sockets to charge all our appliances like mobile, laptop, camera etc. Imagine a future where all your electrical appliances would no longer need to be plugged into an electric socket. What if you could have a wireless charger that provides simultaneous charging to many appliances? Well this could wee be possible in the future with Intel demonstrating to be successfully able to provide power to a bulb 3 feet away using a wireless power source.
Why Now? Though the concept has been pondered upon for quite some time now, yet researches have not been able to reach a high efficiency in transmission up till now. Intel demonstrated to achieve 75% efficiency in wireless electric transmission.
The concept: The concept is based on the theory that two electric coils that resonate on same frequency are able to transmit energy to each other.
Challenges ahead: Intel used very large coils for demonstration and for this concept to become a success, a way to reduce the coils and increase the efficiency needs to be discovered. Also currently there is no solution for the electromagnetic field interference with the appliance, thus a long way to go before this could be introduced in Laptops and other electric gadgets susceptible to electromagnetic fields.
Other Ideas: One could attach a large transmitter inside the wall and place small receivers at different locations in the house, thus solving the problem of interference to some extent.
Where else it could be used? Scientists are thinking about pacemakers and artificial hearts.

Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
