      Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. found that power could be transmitted without wires using special “resonant” antennas. The researchers used the system to power a 60-watt light bulb more than two meters (about two yards) from a wireless transmitter at 40 percent efficiency.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070618_power.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.world-science.net/img/C99B2649-7AC7-4E4F-A831-606BEC040F4E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070618_power.htm"><DIV>
      The MIT concept, called “WiTricity” for wireless electricity, involves using so-called coupled resonators. These are objects that, if struck or disturbed, tend to naturally oscillate at a definite rhythm. If two of them tend to have matching rhythms, they actually enhance each others’ oscillations. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4B928A66-330A-4DDB-BE1A-6AA4BBBD1BF0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
