At the recent CES Expo in Las Vegas, Fulton Innovations demonstrated their eCoupled technology that uses magnetic resonance – and a special power receiving adapter that will eventually be built into gadgets – to wirelessly receive power, meaning no more cables to deal with!

Other companies such as Philips are already using similar technology in their Sonicare line of toothbrushes, while Fulton demonstrated special adapters for iPods and mobile phones that allowed them to be wirelessly charged.

Now Herman Miller, the famed designer of chairs, desks and other furniture, has licensed the technology which they intend building into a forthcoming desk.

Fulton also showcased special pads at CES that could be built into cars or other surfaces, creating a zone where a gadget could simply be placed for the wireless charging process to begin – either with a device that has the receiver built-in, or has the receiver plugged in as a simple attachment.

So, Nikola Tesla was right after all – wireless power is real!
