At 81 per cent efficiency. This is very promising.

A team of Japanese researchers has created a novel wireless power-transmission device that is thin, flat, and flexible. Based on a sheet of plastic, the device can be put on desks, floors, walls, and almost any other location, delivering power to electronics placed on or near it without the use of cables or connectors.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.physorg.com/news99145812.html"><DIV><TABLE width="280" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1" border="0" align="right" class="newsPic"><TBODY><TR><TD><IMG title="Flat, Flexible, Wireless Power Source Can Go Anywhere" src="http://www.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/WM_Figure2.jpg" /><BR /><SPAN class="txtSub">A small Christmas tree lights up when placed on the power sheet.</SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>The electrical components are deposited onto the plastic via state-of-the-art inkjet printing technology using “electronic ink.” The finished product is about one millimeter thick and 21 centimeters square, although power sheets large enough to cover entire walls or floors could potentially be created.
