Wireless electricity to be launched in Bangkok

[Fullstop]

It's been hilarious seeing people come on here several hours after the thread has been running and thinking they're the first to notice it's an April fools gag, not knowing Admin had been deleting the hundreds of similar previous posts.

Good one this year.

If it was good ... there'd be no need to delete "hundreds of posts" Cheats.

Ah, good, another farang friendly government "deal." Mai bpen rai, guys; I'll just continue to plug into the wall.

Nicolas Tesla did a lot of research in wireless power supply a hundred years ago, but the documentation disappeared – some reports mentions “men in black” – good to learn the project finally come thru. The original US-reasearch might be the reason for the 110 volt distribution. However, to day is a difficult day to read the news...

[allanos]

What is the date today? Does anyone know?

April Fools !

:-))

There is always someone who knows it's a joke and wants to spoil the fun.........fun and jokes on TV, heaven forbid.

I think they did a good job again this year.

I like the Tesla Coils in the background. Should be a shocking good time.

Wireless power distribution was always my dream, any indication of the power levels being proposed? The equipment that was experimented with in the US would not be permitted under modern public health rules (something to do with frying the brain).

On a serious note, unless there has been a major breakthrough the power levels needed to send a sensible amount of energy over a reasonable distance are astronomical. Fried pigeon anyone?

This would be one of the greatest inventions of mankind, on par with the wheel, condoms and the internet. I bet a lot of Thai bashers will crawl back in bed in shame!

Don't any of you realise its APRIL 1st ?? !!!!!!!!!!

APRIL FOOLS DAY !!!

As April Fool's jokes go, this one wasn't too bad! Well done, to whoever thought this one up.

All that cutting and pasting for nothing.

What a lovely read I might get free electric to boil my square eggs bought this morning from 7-11.

Phones, Phablets, and Laptops operate at dual voltage 110/240. So...watts the purpose for a power inverter? More equipment to choke the hard wire electric eyesore throughout the city?

[Khun Loong]

April Fools.

Not really relevant here.

Yes

[Touhukasta]

April's fools...

[rijb]

April's fools...

They know. They're just playing along.

Would you like to buy a power inverter? I have a wireless inverter for sale - today only.

[Berkshire]

Can I say April fools yet? I mentioned it earlier in the day--must have been too early--and got promptly deleted. No worries, I understand you guys wanted to get some mileage.

Original topic, by the way. Well done TV.

[fredfish]

I like it. Smart thinking joke

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

[jpduggan]

OK enough with the fools day jokes

[oyster]

Is this an application to charge ones phone,or for or residency? Gotcha

Anyone figured out the date yet ?

[Khunangkaro]

WFE ( Wi-Fi Electric-city ) only in our redwood house as I'm the only one in our village with yellow tabian ban and besides as the older version of WFE here doesn't work at concrete house.

Must admit that our WFE is directed straight into the bathroom, lucky enough with wooden walls as well. Thus it makes for cosy meetings with all our befriended neighbors pants down squating on their own wc-pots that are all connected to the tubeless drainage system.

I'm afraid the technology is still quite new and therefore there is not yet ready application for the mobile devices.

Then again, there is a solar charger app for android, which works perfectly!
