Intersting to see what can come about from beaming a power source to something.

Now I would love to have one of these. I remember reading a small article about them 1 or 2 years ago when they first started coming out in a few factory lines and military testing for more than $4000 each.

Wireless computer with eye piece monitor and SE4 on the go... I could so use one of these.
