Sneak Peak into the future.....

[zeropointbug]

Yeah, pretty cool... these have been out for a few years, but a niche market, quite expensive (although in reality not)

This technology has been around for more than 100 years, Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla Coil and subsequent 'Magnifying Transmitter'... JP Morgon dismantled it after receiving the true intent of the tower (wireless power transmission) and not radio transmission.

I too have done some wireless power experiments... lit a 100watt bulb to roughly 60watt brightness using twin tesla coils. It is amazing.

Oh, and yes, the wireless power transmission here and the type I am talking about are different... one uses simple higher frequency magnetic fields, and the later (Tesla type) uses electro magnetic resonance (or could even be another level beyond our understanding?) and is supposed to be inherently very efficient.

This technology will probably not be in RC for a while. Our little vehicles uses higher current and this technology won't work. I can see it working with super high voltage though. I think Speed Passion holds some alien technology, but the fools at Schumacher who says they work closely with Speed Passion (Sure like Speed Passion makes their ESCs) has failed to provide answers to those who have asked.

Think about it, huge Tesla Coils in a race and a car flips over, would you being a turn marshal have the guts to go and flip the car over?
