Wireless energy promise powers up

Why am I not comforable with the idea that I sit in a room flowing with low frequency radition? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6725955.stm

The prof at MIT says "But it doesn't respond to magnetic fields. As far as we know the body has almost zero response to magnetic fields in terms of the amount of power it absorbs."

I thought that's exactly how MRI worked?

Good point.

The concept of 'wireless electricity' is going to make someone a very tidy stash if it come to fruition. Would save me heaps of hassle sorting through a ton of spaghetti at the back of a row of server racks.

I didn't think MRI affects the body, it is the other way around.

MRI applies a magnetic force to the body greater than the magnetic force of the earth, but it's harmless to the body (unless you have bits of metal in you).

really??... mmmm

Wot, like fillings?

Of course, we don't know long-term effects of constant exposure.

Didn't Nicoli Tesla invent this, yonks ago. If you get the resonance frequency just right you can cause mid air explosions. Tesla caused the Tunguska event this way. Airburst of a meteroid, nice coverup story!

nah I'm not getting you there, how are readings obtained then if the body does not affect the MRI

What about people who live near to pylons? They might disagree..
