"Wireless Electricity Ted Talk." If you type these words into Google and click on the link you will see the future.
A future that in fact has been 100 years in the making.
During the emergence and invention of electricity way back in a simpler time, way back in final years of the 19th Century when now renowned physicist Nikola Tesla was experimenting with electricity and electromagnetism it never even occurred to him that the masses would ever adopt electricity if it could not be transmitted wirelessly. The millions of miles of wires and power lines that now criss-cross our globe never even came into his thinking. In fact up until his death he was working on ways to wirelessly deliver electricity across entire oceans and continents, a feat that we are now told may not be to much to ask.
So if the ideas of wireless electricity can be traced back as far as 1899. Where are we now? Well in truth the concept lived in its very own dark age until very recently. The credit for its resurgence is in the hands on a man who curiously was born in Zagreb, fewer than 200 kilometers from the birthplace of Tesla himself. The mans name is Marin Soljacic, a professor at MIT and founder of one of the leading companies in our electronic future, Witricity.
Imagine a future without wires, not just around your home but around the world. Imagine sitting on a train and not being able to dreamily follow the arch of the power lines with your eyes as they whizz past, simply because they are not there anymore. Imagine an end to finding a charger for your phone, an end to disposable batteries, imagine an end to wires. These is just a small part of what this discovery could mean, and even more promises is the thought that when this technology hits the open market we will see innovation like no other in areas the Marin Soljacic and his co workers never imagined.
