Funny how she did exactly that. Although she keeps claiming she invented this idea, ultrasonic wireless power transfer had been researched and used for decades. But she was the only one dumb... err... "out of the box thinking" enough to think you can charge a mobile phone with it at several meters, and power TV's and other stuff.

Still? Does anyone actually check histories before doing these quotes? From page 1 of this thread, reference 61, Charych patent "System and method for wireless electrical power transmission", filed 2003.

"A power transmission system using directional ultrasound for power transmission includes a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device has a set of ultrasound transducers forming an ultrasound transducer array, wherein the array is a set of spaced individual transducers placed in the X-Y plane disposed to generate an ultrasound beam in the Z direction."

Not sure why that "Wednesday words of wisdom" site is recycling a 4-year old quote from 2015 and claiming it is news for March 2019.

Here's the original source of the quote from 2015.

http://meredithperry.tumblr.com/
archive.org version: http://web.archive.org/web/20160515233258/http://meredithperry.tumblr.com/

The "Wednesday words of wisdom" site claims they "asked some of our nearest and dearest friends and clients to share their secrets", but if that is really so, why is the purported answer the exact same one as was previously published in 2015, even including the quotation marks?

Most likely they're just recycling information scraped from the web and presenting it as news.
