MITs wireless electricity demoed, dubbed WiTricity

We always knew Tesla was right: MIT physics professor Marin Soljacic and his team of researchers behind the latest wireless electricity scheme have reportedly demoed their magnetically coupled resonator technology on a 60-watt lightbulb that wasnt plugged in. Of course, no technology should be without a name, and so theyve dubbed it WiTricity. Apparently Soljacic thinks its possible to commercialize WiTricity within the next few years, which would be totally amazing if it was powered by Steorns humanity-saving infinite energy device.
