I am finishing up a Final Paper in my media predictions class on Powercast. It is definetly going to revolutionize the way we charge small devices. The only problems are going to be in the beginning. But here are some: The transmitter can only power things up to 1 meter away. The power harvest rate is only 50-70% effective, and it can only power a dead cell phone battery halfway over night. Also, the release date is the end of 2008 for most of the cool things. (A wireless lamp is coming out at the end of 2007, whoop ti friggen doo.)

I say the problems are only going to be in the beginning, because Powercast has already partnered up with electronics giant Philips, along with at least 100 other companies that make MP3s, Controllers, Keyboards, Mice, small appliances etc. Since they have so many partners already, I think this thing is going to be huge, and there are going to be as many wireless transmitters as there are electrical sockets (I coined this please don’t steal it -Alex Kenemer 2007) which means that every device on your person is going to be charging at a near constant rate, which takes away the problem of the weak power harvest. When this hits and gets popular, devices simply will not ever run out of energy unless you are stuck out in the middle of a field somewhere.

Get excited, this is going to be huge. I’m going to buy stock when Powercast Co finally hits the market.

That PowerCast technology is a freaking revolution. Who cares about those other methods of charging. They’re practically the same as plugging your stuff in anyway.

I mean, I could be playing the Wii, 360, or PS3 and NEVER have to recharge batteries. Not to mention every time I sit down in my room, my cell phone could be charging.

I mean, is this stuff even REAL?! It’s close to April Fools Day, was that site started on April 1st? The implications of this technology are rediculously huge. Someone here should make a post specifically about PowerCast, otherwise it might get lost behind the jump.
