I once heard scientists where planning to install a base on the moon to collect the sunlight... since the moon has no spin of it's own putting a power plant on the lighted side of the moon would generate huge amounts of electricity. They even proposed to cover the entire lighted surface of te moon with solar panels. Other even more futuristic ideas include covering the whole sun with a shell made of solar panels (or something similar) so collecting the entire energy that sun produces. Only a few hours would be enough to power mankind for thousands of years.
What is really interesting is the way they plan to send this huge amounts of electricity back to earth. They plan on using some kind of laser bean to send the power for where it is produced back to the place where is needed.

Returning to reality... we are sending "wireless electricity", but not in the amounts we need to power a household. For example, in the countryside where my grandparents live there is a really huge radio antenna. The signal the antenna sends covers a big part of my country. That's why the signal is extremely strong... So strong that a few miles away from the antenna with a simple wire you receive not only radio waves, but electricity. Enough electricity to power a radio or a normal light bulb. But that proves it is possible to have "wireless electricity".

I just thought it would be very useful to resurrect this by posting in it again - I just saw on the news that american scientists have developed a 96+% efficient wireless electricity. They expect it to be available to consumers in about a year. It uses the electromagnetic frequencies and works within about a 2m range. There is a large copper antenna that can be put in a wall or table, somewhere subtle, and small devices such as a phone or ipod can have a small coil inside to simply charge as you use them!

Granted, 2m doesn't sound breathtaking, but I really do expect this to get bigger as they develop it!...

"Meteorite of Thunguska" or "Tunguskiy Meteorit" is remains unknown event, same as "Did really Tesla sent an electricity charge to the moon and its reflected it ?", there comes " why moon didn't explode then ?", its not a big peace of mirror, and its not made of metal, anyways even if it was work of Tesla's experiments, still it doesn't means that we should stop trying, otherwise we couldn't have created many cures for many sicknesses, "sacrifice is a major factor of success" thats what i say, if Tesla hadn't see that big electricity ball flies away from his tower, he wouldn't discover that electricity can fly, and it has purple color. Meteorite of Tunguska could be his hands work, he probably felt right to hit it coz its his folks motherland

Wireless electricity?

I think is an old invention that for some reason won't came to the final users...

Who invented, Volta, Tesla? I don't remember the name.

Well, if that is possible, why the corporations are'nt working on it?

Too expensive, too difficult? Or something more obscure behind it?
