Wireless

Wireless energy transmission

Transmitter, source

Wireless energy reception

Receiver, sink or load

Wireless energy transfer

You completely rewrote Wireless energy transfer without discussing your changes first, including some which are wrong, like saying "Such systems can be used for the transfer of either information or power, or can be designed to perform both of these functions".

Although the physics are the same, wireless energy transfer is by definition the transmission of energy; not meaningful information.

Can you please try to make the article more accurate? I don't want to just revert all of your changes, but it is a lot of work to go through them all, so I'd like it if you could. — Omegatron 21:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It is incorrect to say that, "wireless energy transfer is by definition the transmission of energy," and not meaningful information. Information is intimately tied together with matter. Saying that energy is not involved with the transmission of information is like saying that newspapers can be delivered without burning any fuel. GPeterson 15:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

It is incorrect to say that, "wireless energy transfer is by definition the transmission of energy,"

It is incorrect to say that "wireless energy transfer" is by definition a wireless transfer of energy?? Of course it's correct to say this. I have included some examples on the talk page. — Omegatron 09:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry. . . . After all, I'm just a worm. GPeterson 02:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by that? — Omegatron 18:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I mean that I am, figuratively, a worm, a bug, slime, i.e., an insignificant lifeform. GPeterson 17:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Wireless power transmission

Some random data points to "stir the pot"...  :^D

Near field non contact power transmission, not to be confused with "Wireless Power Transmission".

Practical uses include cranes, AGV's, Railroad traction... and the work of "Nicola Tesla" (sic) discussed.
