Wireless power sounds like and RFI nightmare. It will never match the efficiency of a cable either.

I doubt anyone is under the impression that it is going to be as efficient as direct power. At least no one paying attention.

Edit: The downvotes lead me to believe a not insignificant number of people don’t understand how energy works.

Downvotes be damned: you’re right, imo. A wire just has less to worry about, and I’m sure most people would think the same. Most people.

You're also skipping two energy conversions by keeping it in the wire

It's not - this dude doesn't zap himself even once.

It's a good video though, showing how he integrated everything.

What I'd like to know here is if this setup is continuously drawing maximum power or if the power usage only goes up when a device is within the magnetic grid.
