I found this article in CNN about wireless power. Basically, electricity can be transmitted in the form of magnetic waves to devices (televisions, phones, cars, etc), powering or recharging the devices. The technology eliminates the need for power cords. Pretty cool technology and the wave of the future. The link below is to a short video demonstration and background talk on the technology that they are calling "wi-tricity" http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html?CNN=YES
I read a similar article a couple of weeks ago...... Popular Mechanics maybe??? This truley could be the next big thing on the horizon in regards to technology leaps. The benefits are endless and the technology is already there.
