Beat me to it! The problem was his backers dropped him because he wanted to make it free to everyone and the backers wanted to exploit it!
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Yes he was, a true genius! To bad he was crazier than bat sh*t though.

Most geniuses are. I thought that crazier than bat sh*t was in the definition of genius.

Don't worry about getting zapped: Hall assures that the magnetic fields used to transfer energy are "perfectly safe" -- in fact, they are the same kind of fields used in Wi-Fi routers.
Surely Wifi routers use radio waves, not magnetic fields?

There is a problem with this.
Some of my devices need a fair amount of power.
And I have a number of metal plates that have been attached to various bones over the years...

Well hopefully you won't be attracted towards the hub 
btw it leads me to another side of the coin, how will I stop my device from getting charged?

There is that - but there's also Faraday's Law[^] which means every time I cross the room I'm going to get electrocuted...

Honest constable, I'm not drunk, I'm just being pulled about by all the magnetic fields.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

My dad has a pacemaker, he can't get near the hob in our house as it's using induction for heating.

Or go near a microwave in case the seals are damaged...
The fun was when one hospital wanted to give me a MRI, until they were persuaded to run a metal detector over me first! 
Airports are fun too...

No, I've had a few motorcycle and car accidents over the years is all.

The laws of physics makes this one of the most inefficient and useless ideas except for really short range stuff, like putting your phone on a pad or the way your cordless toothbrush recharges itself through induction.
