A more informative video on the subject of witricity here: http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html Transfer efficiency is not 5% like John suggested but more like 50% and growing. I suspect the energy loss compared to traditional solutions will be globally more than

The efficiency I was referring to was for a pair of untuned loops loosely coupled, but even at 50% for a more closely coupled resonant system, half the power out of the transmitter would be lost before it got to the load. And, no matter how efficient the system can be made to be, it can never be

The big surprise, if one believes that a version of the Mills hydrino/deuterino is involved at a fundamental level in all of LENR, would be the appearance of EUV. Unfortunately this radiation spectrum is universally absorbed by every element in the periodic table, so you would need to somehow
