PowerBeam demos wireless electricity at CES

JadedApprentice writes: "Caught a mention of this startup yesterday on CNBC while they were reviewing the latest gadgets at CES. In the off chance that there was anything remotely feasable or safe about the wireless power prototypes PowerBeam had on display, I took a quick google and found this nice little write-up on the technology (along with some pricess comments for those that scroll down, and I'm not talking about those on the page below). Bottom line: while it's possibly safe, it may not be efficient and it sure as hell won't power your 1200W gaming rig, the guys at www.powerbeaminc.com are hoping the convience of wireless power delivered through directed IR lasers will not only give you the coolest living room in town, but make them very rich in the process"
