Re: Let's broaden our minds: the non-film-related cool stuff thread
Bringin' it back.
Long story short, wireless electricity is close to becoming a thing. And when that happens, it'll change the world. Forget just never having your cell phone run out of charge. We'll be able to drive all-electric cars with charging stations placed regularly along roads, with no need for gasoline at all. We'll be able to have drones deliver mail constantly recharging from stations below. The implications and possibilities are damn near endless. Of course, it won't happen without corporations doing their damnedest to stop it, but still. Fuck that's cool.
I can only see it working if the entire thing is tax supported, and there will be quite a lot of waste so the number of new power plants needed will be quite large. No obstacles there that I can see 
As with most claims of this type, I think I'll ignore it until we see working hardware.
