You know all of those cords and cables and wires that we use to connect our stuff to the electrical grid so they’ll, you know, work? Imagine a day when energy flies through the air like wifi, utterly cord-free. Well, imagine no more! That day is coming!
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of wireless electricity, exploring how we might one day live in a completely cord-free world where your TV, phone, and other devices power up without being plugged into anything. They trace the technology from its surprising 19th-century origins with Heinrich Hertz and Nikola Tesla all the way to today's wireless phone chargers, explaining the science behind how electricity can jump through the air. The episode covers both current "near field" technologies like your electric toothbrush charger and the ambitious "far field" possibilities that could revolutionize how we think about powering our homes and gadgets.
