Wireless power has gone from lab paradigm to work product in a little over 18 months , and Haier sting MIT ’s WiTricity into a TV along with WHDI wireless video for complete wirelessness . Complete . Wireless . Ness .
Sure , there ’s a big power unit of measurement on the wall , radiating ( totally harmless ) RF into the back of the TV , which has a coil inside to meet the juice . It only delivers full strength if it ’s parallel , so you have to contrive ahead and somehow setup the TV in front of the wall that has the power module . Because of all the hocus pocus , the TV itself is a chunkster , and that power transmitter is no slight jim either .
Still , the idea is a dear one , and the promise — as both MIT and Intel make for their ass off get wireless power up to sniff — is genuine .
WHDI is a lot further along in ontogeny . Wireless HDMI is n’t exactly family , but the technical school is now supported by basicallyall of the big CE companies except Panasonic . I ’m not going to buy this Haier TV — it might not even be for sales event this class — but it ’s a concrete sign of what ’s to come .
