If they did that, then they wouldn't be cordless, would they? [ 12-14-2003: Message edited by: Nina ]

I think he meant the actual transmitter itself, since I think it would be a pretty power hungy beast.

Yeah, but last I checked I don't think we've found a way to magically transfer electrical/chemical energy from one location to another.

Wouldn't that be cool though? Wireless electricity!

Yeah...all you'd need to do is trick whatever you're sending it to into thinking it's being sent something and bam, perpetual energy right there. [ 12-14-2003: Message edited by: Gunslinger Moogle ]

Nicola Tesla said it could be done and he was a huge genious. The fact he was clearly insane is besides the point here.

Is this something that exists (even in early and practically unusable forms) or is it just theoretical?

Theoretical. It certainly couldn't be used on a small scale for Delidgamond's stupid headphones. I don't know about large scale (from space). The first question that comes to mind would be "what if it was misguided?"
To be fair, it kind of does exist. A microwave oven emits energy that speeds up the water inside it. I imagine the effort required to use it outside of a container would be enormous. [ 12-14-2003: Message edited by: Kalculus Kid or Mathinator or Waisz ]
If I was rich as all fuck ( 
), I'd buy that, then two sets of the bose sound cancelling headphones to stop THE FUCKING BIRDS FROM RUINING MY SHOWS.
I'm gonna strangle each and every one of those fuckers someday. Until then, I still have to feed and water 'em. Bastards.

Agree wth the first part, the second sounds like an Edison quote. (He was jealous and took every oppertunity to downplay Tesla's electrical contributions.)
Actually Tesla proved it could be done, though there are limitations as to what you can power using the basic setup. The Tesla coil was primarily developed as a means of power distribution without the need for a grid system.
The headphones do not require their own batteries (Not mine anyway), and the tower plugs into an AC outlet. It both transmits, and charges the headphones. The headphone batteries are internal.
There are no wireless headphones that do not have a powered transmitter tower. There are no transmitter towers small enough to be powered by batteries that can be carried around. There really isn't any point either... If you are walking around with your iPod or Walkman with you, the wire isn't an issue. Wireless headphones are only usefull if the source you are transmitting is stationary, and you move around with the HEADPHONES. Which is why you would have wireless headphones anyway... Wireless headphones on a walkman or similar just sounds retarded. They are already mobile.

Theoretical.
Not theoretical. It's been done (albeit on small scales).
In fact, there's a considerably growing movement to build an orbiting satellite that gathers solar power from a massive array and beams it down to a power station on Earth. (Growing to the point where it might actually be on NASA's agenda within the next several years unless some special interests manage to derail the project.)
Wah hahaha

umm, I guess my point is... electricity with no contact points
even though it's not the same. I think it's pretty cool

That was a long RQG, and I had no idea it was being done. I did some googling and didn't come up with much that was useful. Glad to see it might be done (there are many other uses that come to mind).
