Fuck you, BADecker! You find all the good stuff on the Internet first, not giving us mere mortals a chance.  :'( :'( :'(

So, the idea is really cool. But, it really is just the same wireless charging that most phones use now.
Obviously a little more powerful, but the max separation is 4 inches.
So its not like they are beaming the power 50 or 100 feet up to a drone.
The drone would essentially have to land on a charging pad.

if this can implemented to real helicopter so it can fly long time time without landing
so cool to see it

I wouldn't call this "in Mid-Air". It's just hovering above a charging station, and if you're there hovering anyway, it will be a lot more efficient to land, turn of the rotors, and charge.

I see a different application: with 4 inches distance this could be used to charger electric cars on a highway! The article doesn't mention the overall efficiency, so I assume quite low. And that has always been the (fundamental) problem with "wireless charging": the transfer efficiency (https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/technology/transfer-efficiency.html) goes down exponentially with increasing distance.

I don't know if you would be able to do much charging while driving.
But if they installed them in the roads at stop lights, then electric cars could gain some charge while waiting for the light to change.
It would be hard to have things line up over the sweet spot though.  ;)

Can't wait for this tech to be implemented in sidewalks and charge smartphones while walking down the streets.

If only there were a way to harness the energy from the sun during daylight hours to be used at night or in dark places. I'm not an MIT dude, but I thinkin' some sort of battery to store the power after the sun does its thing on some TBD device might accomplish the same feat.

Hey, wait! I have a better idea. Since those helicopter blades are spinning, simply hook them up to generators akin to windmills, again, storing the created power on some sort of batteries. Since these are drones, ergo no pilots or passengers, put the batteries in the space where those people would normally sit.

I'm such a fuckin' genius ever since I discovered another use for them intake jets in hot tubs.

Are there rules against posting the whole article in the OP?

Yeah, but who's going to pay for the electricity?

Nikola Tesla was and is the world's greatest man who ever lived on Earth. Somebody says that he was an alien too (maybe because he didn't want to have a girlfriend at all, just pigeons  ;D).

He was so modest, that he didn't want to patent almost any of his revelations, which were then exploited by Edison.

You can read it more detailed here.

Great graphic article about Tesla and Edison:

Interesting !
I like the recharging idea for Heli's too Gleb !
And well all know what "other" purpose those hot-tub jets have ;)

In a related story i recently seen a video of a Drone that is able to launch then track and fly after another drone then fire a net at it catching it then scoop it up hanging by a rope etc and then fly back and land with it's victim.. all automated.

The street idea that many were talking about seems like a good idea but wouldn't the cars need shielding to prevent it from messing with your brain?
I know some people where trying to figure out how to make it so their drones could output for energy by using the sun for drone races.

Ill check those out.

Imagine induction powered specialty drones, powered by the high tension lines they are working on, doing this job:

very awesome
hope soon can be implemented in daily life

I am sure that the wireless transmission of electric energy in the future will be used everywhere. scientists currently invented it, but can not be implemented. They forbid it to do large corporations that are not profitable

Health needs to be studied..
We are ALREADY saturated beyond belief with transmissions coming from everything imaginable.
We are polluting the living shit out of Earth with shit we can't see with our eyes so we don't give a fuck.

Whether it's light pollution or sound pollution or various energy forms we are getting seriously carried away with it all and not thinking about the consequences other than Facebook'ing faster etc..

You all should already know about the Clash of WIFI signals and channel issues.
You can see on most adapters for 20 years now the error correction stats.. dropped and re-transmitted packets etc.
The WIFI routers in a neighborhood have to flood each other to get their signal through.

Last decade+ every place i have moved to around town has had a dozen routers.. different ones depending on which direction i point the antennae at.
Do you all realize how much wasted bandwidth that amounts to ?
I looked at my WIFI card right now and it has over half a million packets re-transmitted.. and lots of "errors"
Which is my device receiving packets for another device.

What exactly do you all think this does to our brains ?

And did you see the topic on Malware that is transmitted via a PC speaker or mic ?
Having things over-the-air will create more security issues too.

People have heart attacks and die from CME's from the sun people..

the world's greatest scientist .
