Opportunities Lost

When opportunity knocks, don't worry if you have a hard time getting out of your La-Z-Boy; someone else will answer...

For the past four years, Chris and I have tirelessly talked about an invention that would catapult us to fame and fortune while changing the way the whole world works: Wireless Electricity. We spent an inordinate amount of time testing the theory that warm air emitted from our mouths at audible frequencies would somehow result in the creation of power for objects around us. As our theory continually suffered setbacks and as our focus waned, researchers from MIT were working on a more promising solution, that involved actual research, effort and experimentation. The result: WiTricity. Strangely, this innovation proves a completely different theory about fluids in the human body: the sweat on your brow is worth much more than the condensation from your mouth. Who knew? This also proves yet again that Tesla was a man ahead of his time. And that Chris and I are a wee bit behind.

On the cool side, in a few years we'll have wireless electricity!
