A Possible Directed Energy Weapon Technology?

MIT researchers said Thursday they will soon be able to charge a computer or cell-phone battery from across a room, perhaps making the annoyance of wires or dead batteries a thing of the past.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists and their wireless energy transfer technology may soon eliminate wires that tether our machines to wall sockets, or may keep batteries topped up and ready to go. (snip)

The technology is almost at the point where it could be used for a practical application," he added.

The technology is simple and based on resonance, which causes an object to vibrate when energy of a certain frequency is applied to it, Soljacic explained.

Two resonant objects on the same resonance frequency can exchange energy efficiently, while interacting weakly with objects that are not on the same wavelength.

Keep in mind that typically, military technology is several years ahead of civilian technology.

Conceivably, a target could be induced to resonate by one type of energy pulse, then given a jolt of high energy from a resonance gun using this resonance transfer mechanism.
