Eric Giler: Wireless Electricity Demonstration
| 10 minutes |
Eric Giler, CEO of MIT-inspired WiTricity, demonstrates at TED how wireless electricity works and inspires a vision of the future where devices no longer need to be plugged-in. First explored by Nicola Tesla in the 1890s, in recent years the technology has made great strides and there are many wireless charging pads on the market. The Palm Pre has even made it a showcase feature when marketing its new phone. While the technology has been around for a while, it is taking great strides in efficiency with both increases in the amount of power that can be transmitted, as well as the distance it can be transmitted. WiTricity is attempting to charge everything from electric cars to cell phones.
