Re: Whoah...wireless electricity..now this is cool

It sounds to me like the 'wireless electricity' only works within a very short range; the article does not say how close the device must be to it's charge source, but it says they must be close together. So I'm thinking that this isn't describing a real power delivery system.

I'm not a physicist or electrical engineer, but my understanding is that electricity always looses power when transferred over long distances, even with low resistance. It seems to me that travelling through space would be rather higer resistance than through wires, but I don't know how Tesla's stuff works.
