- dexen 6y agoAmusing scenario however don't expect it to be a significant risk - any wireless system would most probably perform negotiations before beaming out any significant amount of power. You want that to avoid damaging sensitive electronics, overheating a random chunk of metal, or plainly wasting energy. Even the good old Qi wireless charging standard does negotiations, tho those aren't secured by any means.
