Intel unveils wireless powersystem

[Floptical]

Intel on Thursday showed off a wireless electric power system that analysts say could revolutionize modern life by freeing devices from transformers and wall outlets. I don't know about you but this doesn't seem that safe.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

JP Morgan shakes his 19th century fist in disapproval.

That's gotta cause cancer.

Good thing there's a cure for that, oh wait.

Didn't Tesla do that like 100 years ago?

First time one short circuits someone is going to get fried.

No, nothing at all could go wrong with inducing large magnetic fields in your house. NOTHING!

"It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field."

Wow, just wow.



DO NOT WANT!

Meh, it's just like living in a big open MRI machine.

No biggie.

At least the AutoDoc will be easier to implement in the home.

This opens a whole new S&M category!!!!

No biggie unless you have a pacemaker or using DBS to treat something like Parkenson's ... or if you have any magnetic media in the house ... or if you keep birds ... or ...

You know we already have a device that uses magnetic resonance to transfer energy. Its called a microwave. NO THANKS!

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Well, the heating bill would be substantially less.

A little molecular friction never hurt anyone.

I mean, it's not like we're made of water or anything, sheesh.

And there is the part where there is no electric field or magnetic field. Its called an ELECTROMAGNETIC field. As in its one in the same...

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

This doesnt sound dangerous or unhealthy at all!

Additionally, we waste a shitload of power now due to resistance in the power lines. Think of how much we'll waste when power is broadcast omnidirectionally...

Will hackers be able to access my toaster oven?

Someone should go turn off the sun.
