Wireless Electricity.


Wireless power transfer over two-meter distance, from the coil on the left to the coil on the right, where it powers a 60W light bulb.

A team of scientists from MIT demonstrated a way to send electricity through the air, without wires:

Realizing their recent theoretical prediction, they were able to light a 60W light bulb from a power source seven feet (more than two meters) away; there was no physical connection between the source and the appliance. The MIT team refers to its concept as "WiTricity" (as in wireless electricity).
