[AReU] Shocking

[Bob Haynes]

Thanks for the interesting article, Bob W.
To me, this idea is a very old one - it’s how the power gets from the primary windings to the secondary windings in a transformer.
I know another way to do the wireless trick:  Capacitance.  
I have been wanting to play around using homemade capacitor plates to transfer power through a window pane to run an electric device outside without drilling any holes in my home.  

I do see a potential problem in creating electrical fields in a home as unwanted induction.
A pacemaker lead suddenly gets the energy from a coil
Possible AC hum brought in through unshielded speaker leads
Radio and TV reception interference
In extreme cases, electric shock to the victims inside the home.  
Wonder what a ‘wireless light’ would do to a nearby electric watch, hearing aid, computer, video game, blue tooth or a cell phone - not to mention the magnetic strips on our driver’s licenses and credit cards.  
Homeowners can just put the power in the air and watch the magic of unintended consequences.  

I think it’s funny that people would worry about the “cancer risk” of living near ‘high tension’ electric lines and those who believe cell phones cause brain tumors might willingly move into a “wireless” home.
