CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is held every year in early January. At CES 2009 there was introduced some exciting new technology that will be hitting the market as early as mid 2009. There is one technology that was introduced that is of particular interest to me. Since I was young I have thought a lot about the feasibility of powering electronic equipment without cords or batteries. Of course I only used the tools of my mind to create such technology and left the actual work to all the real minds of our world.
At CES there were several companies who introduced their own version of wireless electricity. One company even dubbed their technology "WiTricity". I won't go into the differences of these individual technologies, but I have included a link to follow to allow you to read into depth of each of these. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/132/brilliant.html
Electricity without wires...think of the great benefits this technology will afford as it becomes mainstream. I will have to opportunity to place a lamp anywhere I desire without regard to electrical plugs on the wall. There will be no wondering if an extension cord is long enough on other electrical appliances. My counter tops will live free of cords from the chargers for all my electronic devices; camera, phone, cell phone & blue-tooth headset. I can just put them in my drawer and know that when I pull them out they will be fully charged and ready to use. No more losing chargers or having 30 different charges because each device uses a different style and size. By blender, toaster, and griddle can all be used anywhere, with out worry of my children grabbing the cords and pulling them off counters. Examples of benefits could on forever.
In the next 12-18 months I will be in the process of finishing the basement in my home. I look forward to ways that I will be able to implement this technology. I will keep you plugged into my success.
