Hey
I know this is gonna sound a bit weird and maybe its not possible, but is there some way of passing power from one place to another without using wires? sort of a wireless power transfer thing.
In this age of modern technology there has gotta be something??

When you say wireless, do you mean metal ? if so then there is always fibre optics.
If you mean wireless as in no physical contact between two points, then I would imagine you are stretching the boundries of technology available to joe public....... if you worked for NASA or something similar then maybe.

What have you got planned anyway?

I thought i might be, think i found a niche in the market!!! now if i can just design a product i could be rich!!! (sorry doing exams at the moment, it kinda affects me!!
I want to tranfer a signal through a piece of steel without cutting a hole in it!

Why do I have visions of the old Frankenstein movies with the two balls and a large lightning bolt between them?? :shrug:

Sure would look cool at the car shows or cruising at night. :righton:

I was watching a special on I think the Discovery channel about Lightning and the Tesla Coil was designed exactly for transfering electricity from one point to another. It turned out that power lines were more practical.
