"Potentially" least expensive implies they're not the least expensive currently, but could be at scale.

- jacquesm 9y agoYes, potentially anything could happen, but they don't know. What we do know is that mass manufactured transducers already exist and what they cost. uBeam is now developing custom transducers which normally would translate into a higher price rather than a lower one so if you don't mind I'd like to see that proven before I believe it given their history to date. What something costs when you make it at scale you tend to find out when you make it at scale, and if they are going to revolutionize the transducer market that alone would be worth a fortune, never mind transmitting itty bits of power to cellphones.
