I think the reason it's all over the place is that it's being misrepresented, or at least misunderstood. Every article I've seen on this subject has been full of misinformation, and bad science. The whole thing seems to be just a rehash of Tesla's attempts at wireless energy transfer, but with new buzz words. Every time I see the phrase "non-radiative wireless power," I am painfully reminded of "non-Hertzian waves." The references to Tesla, neglecting to mention the fact that he failed to make it work after years of trying, really seal the deal. You might be able to power your laptop with a few feet using this technology, but you're not about to be able to walk all around your house and not worry about power.
