Njunge - it would be interesting to know how they plan to 'meter' such power. And what about risks to people (pacemakers,hearing devices)...I suppose it saves on laying copper wires but perhaps its time has not yet come.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Any energy can be easily converted to radiation but have suitable rounds of wire coils e.g copper,about billing is pretty simple deactivate signal decoding after credit depletion

In the end....nothing really matters!!

for guys like Brav...aiihhh,he wld have to have soo many earth-wires...see the picture from Aunties tom $ jerry.

wishes to inform the citizens of Kenya,in the light of your failure to elect a competent President for the past 46 years,and thus failure to govern yourselves,I hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence...

Pole about my ignorance lakini I thought Tesla was Hungarian... anyway,will africa ever see such brainpower,such inventions,discoveries? [The sciences]

- Europe has so many: Curie,Tesla,Einstein,Jenner,etc
- America has too many to count: Sanger,Oppenheimer,Salk etc
- Asia has a good number: Bose,Abdus Salam,Chandrashekhar,etc
- Australia not sure but it has less than 30mn people.
- Africa: I am waiting (not Literature & Peace Nobels)

*** Apart from from a few countries the rest of us are fighting each other,civil wars,corruption.

**** Even the Japanese & Chinese are inventing like crazy. At the minimum they are improving current products. Look at the hybrid cars (Prius & Insight). The Chinese will produce an electric car under the BVD marque.

Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

this is actually very old technology,its Telsa's invention in the 20s or 30s. he did not fail: his experiments with wireless electricity were quite successful. he was able to draw electricity from the 'atmosphere' particularly after a thunder storm. all one needed to do was acquire an antennae and they would have all the elctricity they need - for free. JP Morgan (who was funding the experiments) pulled off his funding and frustrated Telsa's work because 'there was nowhere to fix the meter'. the rest is history ...

Better to be at the cause of your experience rather than at the end of it. In all situations,be cause ...

I was watching Tom & Jerry last night and there was a scene where Tom swallows an anvil. Jerry then proceeds to torture Tom using a magnet. This reminded me of this thread.

No one has answered my question, (or was it a dumb one?) coz I still don't get it. Someone please, educate me!
