I just wonder what kind of havok this type of technology is going to play on your phones and other wireless devices. I’d say its a form of inductive coupling.

Nothing really new here. It would be quite impressive if this countertop was able to deliver 15+ amps of current.

Moving electrons through the air is not new, it just the air is everywhere where as copper shielded and has a better performance characteristic. Transmitting through the air on short distances can be done but I expect the power bill would still jump for using this.
