I cannot blame anyone for being suspicious of mainstream science lol. And M.I.T. does embody much of what is "worst", and "best" in it... Simultaneously.
We can only generalize in these things: And understand that painting them all with the same brush can be dangerous to the Truth (as in nearly all matters).
The "spin out" concept where these scientists always seem to start companies is not useful, imo... It commercializes it even before it is fully developed. It also tends to stunt research by other Universities. I dunno if this is a "desired" effect of it or not. But everything in the evil world is about "money" so it appears inevitable until we get REAL AND HONEST altruistic financial support from our governments for scientific research... and not the mainly corrupted fraud we have now.
Regarding WiTricity, this is the AC resonant coupling of magnetic fields (NOT directly transmitted Herzian waves). I would say that the person to watch on this subject is NOT the one in the video who was at TED, but
Dr. Marin Soljačić and his team (also of MIT),
who are working with MULTIPLE receiver coils powered by a single transmitter coil. It has some interesting properties that points to a possibility of seeing small amounts of "OU" when adding up the energy outputs of multiple receivers. There is also some evidence for this basic principal being behind some Free Energy devices over the years (like the Patent of William Barbat from a few years ago, or possibly several others such as the "Hendershot Device").
Coil in wall could wirelessly power multiple electronic devices
Regarding Dr. Nocera's work...
You have to read what they are doing carefully, and have some background knowledge of Hydroxy to fully "get it"... Because NONE of these articles or videos will spell it out for us. This is because it is a very "radical" and "heretical" technology that would NEVER have been funded or allowed, if it had been understood by the jerks who guard the gates... If it had been stated clearly
What is so "heretical" about it, is this: The on-demand factor. The Status Quo despises it... Because it ends the hierarchical centralized distribution of energy. You cannot distribute "water" the same as gasoline.. You can no longer be a Monopoly, with the ability to set your own pricing, as the privately owned "Public Electrical Utilities" are now

There is no way to "Privatize" rain water or the trillions of gallons of water in the oceans... And of course cheap energy means easy pumping of water ANYWHERE, and desalination becomes much more important. As billions of gallons of Greenland ice melts, this fresh water dilution of the oceans can be partially offset by huge desalination projects.
Dr. Nocera's system can be "on-demand"; the same as any Hydroxy-producing system. The reason they talk about storing the H, is to "use it at night as fuel" after the sun goes down (the example given is to run Electrical Fuel Cells... but obviously we here know that it could be BURNED as well). But since the solar panels are simply the method of providing the electrical energy to sustain the Hydroxy, it doesn't matter what power source is used... For instance, according to their announcement of April 2010 where they claim a "Hundredfold Increase" in Energy Efficiency in producing the gas.... a "looped" hydroxy-powered generator would be possible.
The naysayers can parse this: There is no LAW AT ALL behind "Faraday Efficiency"... IT IS NOT TIED TO "CoE" in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. The energy created in burning H and O comes from the WATER.
It is simply a figure for a particular METHOD OF ELECTROLYSIS. Change the method, and Faraday efficiency figures are MEANINGLESS. The game as been "changed" anyway several times in the past... when PULSED electricity is used instead of DC... There is much evidence to support this can be more efficient. Now, add in the ability of CHEMICAL CATALYSTS to generate H and O as well (Dr. Nocera's system is a combination of both CHEMICAL and ELECTRICAL electrolysis; where the Electrodes are made of catalyst materials).... So making these old claims that it "cannot be" because of 140 year old Faraday Efficiency numbers... would be rather useless here
The below would be some obvious embodiments of the Nocera system:
> Produce the Hydroxy Gas from water (H and O together, and keep them together, not separated.. Just because Dr. Nocera's team does that, doesn't mean anyone else needs to). Burn the mix on-demand using a metal surface catalyst in contact with the flame front for maximum heat generation (using the unique properties of Brown's Gas where the heat from burning it wholly depends on the composition of what the hydroxy flame touches), to heat a Steam Boiler. Use the resultant steam to power a turbine generator. Considering the very high heat that can be obtained this way, it will be highly efficient and will generate enough electricity to self-run with plenty of excess output to make it worthwhile. This will be for centralized power production for industrial or mass residential use and we are not likely to do this ourselves.
> Produce Hydroxy in a portable unit to run in a ICE or Diesel-engined vehicle; either for "partial" ("booster"), or "full" 100% hydroxy fuel power. All the knowledge for doing this is out there and has been for years; it was simply waiting for the energy efficient production of the Hydroxy (and this gas can be manipulated with other gasses and/or "Ionized" and "Excited" to add "Thermal Explosive Energy" to the mix, requiring less total gas volume to do so than many claim is needed... for which much anecdotal evidence exists from several Inventors, some of which can be seen here on this Forum).
> Produce the Hydroxy at home either "stand alone / off grid", or part of a wind/solar Grid Tied system... Running a ICE or Diesel powered generator in the 1.5 to 3 kW range to provide household current directly, or indirectly to charge battery banks. Again, the efficiency of producing the Hydroxy should allow electrical energy generated to exceed that needed to sustain the effect enough to make it worthwhile. This would also allow a means of recharging EV's in the home's garage. Using leading-edge technology "pulsing chargers" would help efficiency and battery life there as well.
So when we eliminate the "Electrical Fuel Cell", a Nocera-type system could be much less costly to operate. Now, there is some worries about running hydroxy in standard ICE motors (corrosion from water vapor, H combining with the steel to make it brittle, etc). This may be true (although i personally think it is being hyped a bit). The simple answer for this is: Use these outdated motors until they "die" (or perhaps ceramic coat them in a "re-build").
In the mean time, we design ALL NEW engines made to run on Hydroxy from the ground-up. the ICE and Diesels have had their day: In over 130 years... Can't we think of anything better, lol?
You know folks, they just SAY we have to use them forever... that's not a "LAW" either
