"An interesting bit of technology was mentioned on the NewScientist and the BBC news of an experiment, demonstrating how radiation could be used to power and recharge devices.

"I will admit to being curious and cautious how energy efficient this might be .. there is little point in charging your mobile phone whilst warming up the planet with more stray radiation. After a little more research and I found out thatany energy not transferred to laptop is re-absorbed by source antenna. This is good news as I generally like to avoid resonating at 10 MHz whilst sitting next to an RF transmitter in my home.

"I do have one curious thought if this technology is adapted for wider use in schools. Not only will it kindly recharge any laptops in a staff room, it could probably recharge the mobile phones left in the nearby locker bay, mp3 players left in pockets and any game devices hidden out of sight in student pockets.

Let the power run free. :-)"
