In a new technological development using principles based upon a derivation of the principles of power distribution which were originally conjectured in the early 20th century by Nikola Tesla; Korean company Zalman Tech Co have succeeded in the invention and prototype building of the world’s first wireless computer power supply unit.

The unit, which is the same size as the normal computer power supply unit, is revolutionary in that it allows the distribution of power throughout the computer without requiring the mass of wires that normally protrude from the back of such a unit, and are routed throughout the case’s interior to the various components. This can result in a disruption of the airflow in the case; especially in the upper regions where the cables are densest, causing heat to build up in certain upper areas, thus reducing the life of some components considerably.

The internal layout of a working computer’s case can now be much less cluttered by the profusion of power leads which can cause the inside of a computer to look untidy in addition to restricting airflow.

Based upon an original idea of wireless power distribution envisaged by Nikola Tesla, combining his polyphasic power distribution techniques with a major development known as short-burst DC induction; believed to be based upon the common AC induction principle but using a half-wave directed DC semi-square-wave pulse created by using the electromagnetic induction of electro-motive force in a circuit which they described as a kind of digital-inductor. The pulse is then somehow directed at a number of tiny receiving antenna affixed to individual components and power receptors on the motherboard.

According to Project Manager and Chief Development Engineer Hung Baiderbals; the new technology does have a little way to go yet before it is released into the wild, as the power-efficiency of the EMF-transducer-coil as yet leaves a lot of room for improvement, as does the amount of energy lost in both the wave separation and partial rectification at the point of origin in the unit itself, and also that energy radiated as heat by the receptors. Nevertheless; the cumulative effect of the EMF pulses at a frequency of some 200MHz, combined with the re-absorption of unused distributed energy by a device which Zalman are seemingly unwilling to comment further on, other than that it is capable of re-absorbing up to 86% of radiated energy that would otherwise be wasted, all in all give the device an overall efficiency of 91% according to the figures claimed by the development team.

Even when pressed, Baiderbals wouldn’t give a definite date for when the unit was expected to reach full development, which would mean the start of marketing it. All he would say when hassled for an answer is that we can expect to see it in production within the next year.

Although Zalman revealed sketchy details about some of the working principles of some parts of the unit, they wouldn’t be drawn any further as to the way in which it works; saying that at this stage of its development they wanted to remain tight-lipped about the technology.

The new concepts being devised in the field of technology lately are quite amazing. This idea goes to show that the ideas and dreams of our forefathers and the original pioneers of the technologies that we today take for granted do indeed have substance; and that, given progress in the light of scientific advancement, ways of utilising such techniques which once seemed destined to only be used in science-fiction stories are today becoming a reality.
