		<description>Could a person who confuses "since" with "sense" and who shills his work via a Yahoo e-mail account really be a NASA scientist?  For the sake of NASA and our country at large, I earnestly hope the comment left by William G. Birchard was fictitious. :p</description>

		<description>Pentacene is an polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecule consisting of 5 linearly-fused benzene rings. It has the appearance of a dark-blue powder. It is an organic semiconductor. It is sensitive to light and oxygen. It is a purple powder, but its oxidation product is greenish. Most commercial samples of pentacene are greenish due to oxidized outer layer. Vacuum sublimation or adsorption chromatography are used to purify pentacene.

Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology are developing new approach for using pentacene combined with buckminsterfullerene in solar panels.[2] Pentacene is also a subject of research for use in organic thin film transistors and OFETs.

Pentacene is one of a series of linear acenes, the previous one being tetracene ( four fused benzene rings) and the next one being hexacene (six fused benzene rings).

		<description>SysEng,

I agree with your premise and that the studies would have to be conducted but again, as I mentioned in my comment earlier, here we are neither dealing with high voltage, nor high power - just enough to run your iRobot Scooba cleaner, flat screen TV, cell phone, PDA, notebook computer and floor lamp.</description>

		<description>I’m a scientist for NASA and I have a patent on this technology and I can do it without the pad and I have a better demo . I have been working on this sense 1984 and

		<description>The effects of such a pervasive power transmission environment on mammals cannot be known until extensive testing is done.  Some existing studies show increased incidence of disease in persons living near high voltage AC power lines and of course high frequency RF systems are under continuous study with claims and counter claims of hazard to humans.  It has been known for years that you can induce certain brain responses with induction coils so these effects need to be studied.

We already live in a world that is pervaded by electromagnetic fields and studies from decades ago found issues with pregnancy and monitor usage that was well documented (lawsuit material).

This is a product I would never allow in my home or office until the medical implications are thoroughly studied.</description>

		<description>why dont they just transmit power by setting up a series resonant RLC circuit with the dielectric being the space between source and load.  zero impedance eh?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Have they tested the effects of the inevitable electromagnetic fields on humans?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Tony,
As far as I know, no, they have not. But this should not be an issue in this case.
First of all, these sheets are designed to deliver power only when the electric device is near and because they use microelectromechanical switches, this power is delivered via the grid of copper coils using the shortest path and thus the entire sheet is never fully under voltage. So it when your computer is getting charged via this material, it produces as much EMF as your regular power cord would.

Second of all, the currents that can run thru these sheets are relatively small - up to 80 watts.

And lastly, the EMF become harmful when their frequencies increase which enables them to travel further. In case of this "tablecloth" power charger we will be dealing with &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through"&gt;our household grade 60Hz;&lt;/span&gt; [Actually I am wrong here it transmits at 13.56MHz] whereas, your cell phone, for example, is around 1900 MHz.</description>

		<description>Slappy,

In original research paper published in "Nature Materials" there is a picture of a fish tank with a live fish inside. The LED lights in the tank are powered using this transmitting material. Power cables, sockets, and plugs are not required, and all of the metallic parts are coated with insulating materials. So I'd say it is safe to wrap it around a head :)</description>

		<description>Thank you for a comment! But since I am more of an analytical chemist, I will probably disappoint you by not writing much about pentacene or other PAHs :)

Yes, this technology is amazing but there are also limitations. For example, I forgot to stress the fact the power cannot be transmitted over a long distance. The power-transmitting sheets are meant to be like a tablecloth for your desk where you put your laptop or cell phone, or I guess it could be in the floor tiles so your iRobot's Scooba floor cleaner can always be charged.</description>
