The DOD is working on a recharging device that uses either Bluetooth or IR to recharge a small device. I don't know all the technical details but basically, any device in range of the IR, for example, that has this module would recharge. The IR triggers a small high efficiency oscillator that acts like a generator. It is slow, but you could, in essence, recharge an entire conference room via IR or other wireless connection. No, I don't know the details, nor does the efficiency coefficient seem logical, but the DOD has done some amazing things in the past... Leonard,

I think the goal is to eliminate the need for the power source and researchers should be looking for a new form of renewable energy to power devices . . . i.e building on the Fereday principle.
