My neighbor just returned from a technical conference in Poland and was most surprised to have heard engineers talking about wireless power supplies.
As the naughty boy I am, I was interested to find out how to capture free energy out of the air, making a morning coffee with a wireless coffee machine, charging my cell phone by holding it next to the neighbors wall…
So I started digging and found Patent 6,635,818, covering the topic. Only educated to grab some freebees here and there, I virtually understand nothing about what the guys talk about.
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6635818&id=J_QNAAAAEBAJ&dq=6635818
I found a more practical example here:
http://vowe.net/archives/004904.html
Volker Weber claiming that Apple invented the WPSU.
I have no idea if the Apple is an implementation of the Patent.
Unfortunately the video doesn't work but the text should be enough to start an interesting discussion of how this darn thing works.

This might help, Hugo.

Needless to say, yet another Croatian in fabula.

I didn't know it was that simple. This made it instantly clear to me. 😀
Seriously, thank you, but I'm not that smart...

This makes more sense.
Most important is this:
“a power transmitter would fill the space around it with a "non-radiative" electromagnetic field. Energy would only be picked up by gadgets specially designed to "resonate" with the field. Most of the energy not picked up by a receiver would be reabsorbed by the emitter.”
which is of course easy to understand.
In fact it looks like the principle of radio but with power levels capable of transmitting more energy then the few µV needed by a FM receiver and more bundled to prevent energy loss.

i have a toothbrush which charges without any physical electrical contact , maybe i'll take it apart to find some goodies inside 🙄 😀
I believe it works pretty much on the induction principle. Two coils in close proximity of each other doing the trick.
The wireless PSU however is capable of transmitting energy at room level. Devices can be much further away from the charging point.
With such a system, the toothbrush could lie anyware into the room and would pick up the energy from the air.

Hi,
Nikola Tesla invented a wireless sytem to illuminate fluorscent tubes.
High frquency coil around the room perimeter and any tubes in the radiated field lit up.
Surprisingly the car maintenance fraternity have not twigged to this one yet!

Public/School knowledge about science is outdated and need to be updated to a newer version.
I would suggest it is about time to update it to Verion 1.0, since we as humanity have agreed in the validity of Quantamechanics.
According to our own science it is irrelevant how big the distance or how much energy we transmit.
And, and this is the fun part in this new understanding of nature, it is aswell irrelevant if people like or dislike the nature of reality.
According to the laws of quantaphysics : You get what you ask for : You dont believe in wpsu - u dont get it .
I have never seen a WPSU.
Though i discussed this matter 25 Years ago with my friends as we were talking how to quickcharge out RC-Car Batterypacks....

Interesting ideas,
I used to have a brilliant teacher. He was one of those genius type of people. He had multiple degrees and a PHD. I know that doesn't necessarilly mean anything much.
He once told us a story of a guy here in the UK who built a large antenna to capture power from his local radio transmitter. Apparently, He was only caught because this somehow reduced the power around him. Listeners complained and he was caught charging batteries.
I have never verified this and perhaps it is an urban myth.
Still, nice story.
Isn't it possible that you can stand under a large transmitter and illuminate the tube from a strip light? I have heard from many first hand sources that this is true.
Am I just gullible?
Cheers,
Martin

You might be gullible, I wouldn't know, but the lamp thing is true, at least for fluorescents and neons.
An old ham trick for detecting strong RF fields and getting a feel for the frequency content is to place a neon bulb nearby. If it glows orange, there's a strong HF field. As the frequency content moves into VHF, the glow turns from orange to blue.

I remember seeing the principle being used in an electrical repair shop once .
It was set of neon? bulbs in a plastic block that were being used to test microwave ovens.
One day we may be zapping our Ipods !!!!!!!!! 😱
