    Battery tech is, IMHO, one of the biggest things holding human advancement back. Any improvement in this should be lauded.

        Nikola Tesla already invented it. Inductive charging was originally meant to be exactly that. (And part of an impenetrable defense field that would fry anything conductive flying overhead,)

        The problem is that it’s horribly inefficient, and generally would then demand that your car and phone and anything with circuits (or indeed just a loop of metal…) be designed to accept the frequency and power of the one system- Or to be shielded from it.

        Either way your phone is getting bulkier and your car probably gonna charge slower
