Wireless Resonant Energy Link: Efficient Wireless Power
Wireless Resonant Energy Link: Efficient Wireless Power
Intel - August 24, 2009 - With the dramatic rise in the number of electronic devices we each use in our everyday lives powered by batteries that often need recharging; the costs, resources and management of multiple, incompatible power cords, and adapters have become cumbersome and time consuming for the typical user. Intel Labs Seattle researchers demonstrated recently, at Research@Intel Day, "Wireless Resonant Energy Link" (WREL) - the transfer of electricity without using any wires. This technology could allow people to cut the last cord that keeps mobile devices tethered.
See the video below for more information on this research. Which we first showed you back in Februrary in an article titled, "Projects From The Intel Research Laboratories". We saw WREL live, in action at that event and have to say the technology could offer some very interesting possibilities.
