Hm? Wireless power? You haven't ran into that before, eh?

I think I remember hearing about that for the first time... five, six years ago? It's got potential.

[Dutchling]

I'd rather have indestructible headphones.

[Ultimuh]

I'd rather have indestructible headphones.

Oh yes this.. With actually working microphones.

[Vorthon]

I'd rather have portable stuff where the battery doesn't die on me.

Some Samsung phone can recharge wirelesly.
How der fuck is that supposed to work?

Ask Nicholi Tesla. He invented the technology. It's called "inductive charging" and it's straight up magic if you don't understand how electricity works.

My electricity knowledge limits itself to U=IR and weird hand movements regarding Lorrentz Force.

They've been talking about doing that for ages, but the problem has always been (IIRC) that you'd lose massive amounts of energy in the process, making it extremely inefficient.

[Dutchling]

Just give me my iNuclear already. No need for magic.

[Vorthon]

Bah, nuclear is old stuff. Vacuum energy is where it's at.

First law of cool: If something sounds like you could clean your house with it, it's not cool.

[Vorthon]

Fine then: Zero Point Energy. Quantum Foam and all that jazz.

Wikipedia timeline whatsit mentioned someone or another managed 82% efficiency back in 2010. Which is still pretty inefficient, really, but it's getting there.

Fire is indeed not cool. Neither is most steam, sure. Definitely not cool at all.

Steampunk. Hardcore carpet cleansing since the Victorian era.

Oops.

Ironically I didn't manage to copy the link first time I went to post it and nearly linked you all to this instead. Which still would have been less embarrassing than what that guy managed.
