People might find it slightly inconvenient when their keys get torn from their pants and watches ripped from their wrists every time they charge their car.

- db48x 8y agoTesla used electric fields, not magnetic ones, for his wireless power tests..
- DonHopkins 8y agoLast I heard, electric fields and magnetic fields were inextricably related. https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2014/01/29/how_tesla_coils_work_108474.html https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2014/01/29/how_tes... >The power of the Tesla coil lies in a process called electromagnetic induction, i.e., a changing magnetic field creates an electric potential that compels current to flow. Conversely, flowing electric current generates a magnetic field. When electricity flows through a wound up coil of wire, it generates a magnetic field that fills the area around the coil in a particular pattern, shown with lines below: [...] >Eventually so much charge has accumulated that it breaks down the electrical neutrality of the air in the middle of the spark gap. The circuit closes for a fleeting second and a huge amount of current blasts out of the capacitor and through the coils. This produces a very strong magnetic field in the primary coil. Which leads us to ask: Fucking magnets: How do they work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs
- db48x 8y agoThat's true enough, but a large electric field can wirelessly power a fluorescent light bulb, without moving your key ring at all.
