Intel is working on the wire-free power transmission project. Using this technology the power could be transmitted without any cords. This would enable us to charge the laptop or mobile phone when taken near to the transmitter . The main uphill task for Intel is to reduce the loss of power while transmitting. Currently within a range of two meters they can successfully transmit 75% of the current. WREL consists of source and a device antenna, the current from the regular outlet is tapped by the source antenna and then it is converted in to electromagnetic field which is picked up by the device antenna and powers the gadget. This device could also power lamps, refrigerators TV’s.

Now human movement would be used to charge most of our electronic gadgets.M2E power company has succeeded in developing a technique that would enable to charge electronic products. The Device can be kept in the Pocket or in a bag and carried along, when in motion the device creates an electromagnetic field around the devices which in turn generates electricity and stored in the device. The device can be later plugged in to the gadget to charge it. For about six hours of movement the device could add 30 to 60 minutes of talk time.

Imagine a few years back, we would go to the cinema theater to watch 3D Movies with the “crazy” paper glasses with blue or red films in it. I m telling you guys those days are over, Because Philips has launched its 3D TV WOWvx. However the size of the TV is a mere 42 inches, I suppose I would increase in the further versions. The Concept of 3D TV is to provide slightly different to right and the left eye which would create a 3D illusion. The Philips achieved this by putting tiny lenses over the sub pixels red, green, blue that makes up the TV, the processor in the TV produces 9 different images at different angles. Hence a different image is viewed at a different angle and providing 3D view. Though this TV would be perfect for seeing movies, it would be even better when a game is played on it. Because since, a game basically developed with a 3D view in mind but it is flattened due to the non availability of resources. Research is going on to convert 2D movies to 3D.
