Believe you me,it is here with us.A US company known as WiTricity,has developed technology which powers light bulbs using wireless electricity that travels several feet from a power socket. WiTricity's version of wireless electricity,converts power into a magnetic field and sends it sailing through the air at a particular frequency right into the bulb.Soon,we will see wireless charging of phones,laptops,electric cars and running of trains.......How about wireless grid lines in the future?

Njunge - it would be interesting to know how they plan to 'meter' such power. And what about risks to people (pacemakers,hearing devices)...I suppose it saves on laying copper wires but perhaps its time has not yet come. The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@guka: Forgive my ignorance (plus I failed flat in physics) but if the power is converted into magnetic fields, what happens when using fork 'inside this magnetic field'! I shudder! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

I must have been in the same class with Sasha. I am also concerned about the health hazards with all the fields in the house.(TV. mobile phones,internet,radio and now electricity.) No wonder we are dying young. Its better to stay and sleep outside.

@Djinn, Actually,Witricity idea is first to do away with power cords in your living room which they have successfully done albeit with few challenges.Eric Giler,the CEO believes that this will not be a dream but a normal way of life in 5 years to come.Remember Ford and the four cylinder engine??......Watch a demo here.... http://singularityhub.co...electricity-at-ted-2009/ @Auntie, Tumia plastic...-:) @Murenj, Learn to light a fire first......buff..!!

Any energy can be easily converted to radiation but have suitable rounds of wire coils e.g copper,about billing is pretty simple deactivate signal decoding after credit depletion In the end....nothing really matters!!
More monies, more problems...

@guka: Na kisu? Kuna visu za plastic? And Djinn asked a good question. What happens to people with pacemakers or braces! I can only see Tom & Jerry scenes in my head, with people ducking knives and forks! He he! But seriously, this would be a wonderful advancement, but in 5 years? Someone say Vision 2030!
