Interesting story in the Independant Online.
Wonder if this could be used to power electric vehicles?

No problem. Would require a wifi signal in excess of 400,000 watts instead of the normal  0.00015 watts and might just kill all known life on earth, but should be possible.  Smiley

If you want to have an electric car without batteries, (or enough radio frequency energy to frazzle folk!!!!  Roll Eyes), then how about EJ Potter’s option.

Take a small European car, an Allison aero-engine, some cable and a bit of zany know-how, and hey presto – a full sized “slot car”!

Job done  Cool
