Wire-free Power Transmission

A great technology, indeed ! Wire-free or Cord-less power transmission !
Intel, the microprocessor giant, is now working on a new technology for wire-free power transmission. The technology, called "Wireless Resonant Energy Link (WREL)" would enable transmission of power without cords (wires). The devices ( Mobiles, Laptops, Players, Robots, ...) using the power can be in the vicinity of the power transmitter.
Intel could achieve 75% efficiency in transmitting the power over a range of 2 metres. The system has varied applications and hence have utmost futuristic value.

Think of powerful robotic soldiers .. with no batteries inside.. yeah, that's a reality now. May be.. Intel would call the technology "No batteries inside' , like "Intel inside".
