There's been talk of Wireless power transfer with a serious face for about a year now. Now we have a working demo. eCoupled produced a video of a kitchen counter top wirelessly powering a blender using induction. So far, eCoupled has been able to transfer 1,400 watts through the induction coils at 98% efficiency, almost as good as a physical wire. As a bonus, the technology is also able to transfer data, at up to 1.1 mbps, meaning that the primary charging coil can talk to the devices it’s pumping power into and adjust its output accordingly.
This is an exhibition - not a competition. Please...no wagering.
