Intel presenta dispositivo para transmisión inalámbrica de corriente

Posted on | Agosto 24, 2008

El tema de transmitir electricidad inalámbricamente no es noticia nueva, ya que el meollo del asunto no es si se lo puede hacer o no, sino de cómo hacerlo segura y eficientemente.

Intel nos presenta un sistema inalámbrico para transmisión de electricidad que, según ellos, revolucionará la vida moderna, al liberar a los dispositivos de transformadores y tomacorrientes. De ésto estoy seguro.

Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer.

Most importantly, the electricity was transmitted without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.

“The trick with wireless power is not can you do it; it’s can you do it safely and efficiently,” Intel researcher Josh Smith said in an online video explaining the breakthrough.

“It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field.”
