Even Possible??

Wasn't this one of the "never got the blasted thing to work right" ideas Tesla was working on at Wardenclyffe before he died?

Yeah, people all think it was a free energy thing, but it was a wireless transmission thing. Had a big grounding system. It was supposed to work like a SWER system without the single wire lol. It being "free" only meant that had it worked, you'd be able to set up a receiver and just tap into it. Like someone living in an abandonaminium in philly that crawls out and hooks onto the open wire circuit running across the back of the rowhomes with jumper cables. Somebody still had to generate it. No metering plan whatsoever, not even a good theoretical one, of course the financing disappeared.

Yeah, the guy was brilliant, but he also believed a white pigeon came to visit him every night, and he "Loved her as a man loves a woman"

The charger powers up when it senses the metal receiver on the phone but I don't think the phone has any way to tell it to power down when the battery is full, so then the power from the charger goes to heat.

Here is a more full result.
One of the big issues is alignment of the device to the charging coils. As usual Apple brings leads in brining the best existing technology to the mass market.

Wireless Charging: Trading Efficiency for Convenience

Wireless charging is commonplace and yet most of us don’t realize how bad some of these chargers can be. Time for a deep dive backed up by some tests.

Just watched the video on the company doing it and the way they explained it would be point to point much like microwave (WiFi) transmission.

Only they said when the beam would get interrupted such as a bird or something flying through it, it would immediately momentarily I guess shut off.


How is that going to work flawlessly. Or even close.

And people claim wind turbines kill a lot of birds. I live with wind turbines all around me and won't claim they don't ever kill any but the ground below doesn't exactly have have birds laying all around either.

Dead birds are snapped up fast. I wonder what wirelessly cooked bird tastes like to a rat ?

Some of the first wind turbines rotated at much higher RPM than modern ones. Those were hard on birds because the birds couldn’t see the blades. I don’t think modern turbines kill hardly any birds. Even if the carcasses were consumed by predators, there’d still be a lot of feathers left behind.

It also has to do with bird and bat flying times (visibility) and migration paths (seasonality).
 
I'll bet there are feral cats camped out around those wind turbine sites. To them fresh kill bird dropping out of the sky is like manna from heaven
 
Yes it can be real. Just going to say this - all they did was finish Nikola Tesla's work. Tesla first proposed this theory & idea back in the late 1800's. He theorized & invented not only wireless energy but also wireless communication & broadcasting.

He received funding from JP Morgan for the wireless communication idea, but later JP Morgan pulled the funding because Tesla also wanted to build wireless & eventually free energy for all. Of course, JP Morgan couldn't see how they could get an ROI off "free energy".

In terms of electricity, Tesla is a Legend. Read up on him. He's possibly one of the brightest minds to ever grace us mere mortals.

I like my phone to charge through a wire. That way if the cat knocks it down I've just got to follow the wire to find it. Great when they knock it under something

Cat? I have to do that when I knock it down!

Trick I learned; I get charger cords with right angle ends, that way when I pull on the cord to pull the phone out of the gap in my car seat or next to my nightstand, it doesn’t disconnect as easily.
