I don't know why ? Whenever I hear about transmitting anything over the air technology, this always use to tickle my brain. How about transferring power over the air ? Though, Media is already in the air in the form of bluetooth and wifi or via something else, nobody has ventured into transferring electricity without wires. Now ever innovative Sony has bent the jinx.

Sony has invented the TV which has absolutely no cables connected to it. No video cable. No audio cable. And no power cable. How's this wicked sorcery possible? Sony Transfers 60 Watts of electrical power over a distance of 50cm. yes ! i am sure this is the revolutionary invention next to Edison's marvel electric bulb !

Thanks to Sony's new Wireless Power Transfer technology, which can send 60 watts over the air.Sony's Wireless Power Transfer can push 60 watts of electrical energy over almost 20 inches (50 centimeters).

That's a pretty decent distance, especially when they say that it can be extended using passive extender units. In fact, they have already achieved 31 inches in other tests.Sony says that this system offers 80% efficiency, which may get reduced to about a minimum of 60% if there is a misalignment in the frequencies, which needs to be corrected.
