 MIT Team Powers Light Bulb with No Wires The household power cord might become a thing of the past. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a way to transmit wireless power, causing a 60-Watt bulb to light. The new technology follows in the footsteps of the radio, wireless telecommunications, and Wi-Fi. If you like this, you may also like to learn about wireless recharging, which Trend Hunter featured HERE and HERE.  Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers announced Thursday they had made a 60-watt light bulb glow by sending it energy wirelessly, potentially previewing a future in which cell phones and other gadgets get juice without having to be plugged in.
The MIT team stresses that the "magnetic coupling" process involved in WiTricity is safe on humans and other living things. And in the initial experiments on the light bulb, nothing bad happened to the cell phones, electronic equipment and credit cards in the room - though more research on that is needed
