Nothing new, ofcourse, in principle. Tesla experimented with it many years ago ;) It has worked somewhat efficiently on a small scale (see http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/wireless-power.htm) The beginning of this article mentions how it is dangerous, but the end says we may need to...

I have two wireless mice both made by microsoft. These things always stop working. What a rip off!

I read about quantum entanglement in an article about teleportation I read on the web. If two particles can be connected despite an enormous distance, in such a way that the properties of one can be transferred to another, even though no wire or string is linking them, can you use this...

Is there any research done in this field? If there is why it was not realized by now? It is known that Tesla did some research on this topic but never got the funding for his Wardenclyffe Tower. I think that he managed to send electricity at about 40 miles without using any wires.

RF gurus---A question from a wireless dullard Ok, I need to collect and send data to/from a remote device about 500ft away. I'm looking for a single IC transceiver in a small smt package if possible. I'd like a transceiver that handles the communications with little to no control from either my...
