Would this work?

Just thought I'd uber-bump this thread with this article:

It IS possible, it has been done, it will be done in the future. I WIN!

OK, this is too frickin' cool. I can imagine it won't be long before this gets implemented into more places...

You do know this makes me think of cyborg ass implants, don't you?

More interestingly, and in line with your first idea, leDoOd, there's been some improvements to sound, in that it's literally been refined to be similar to a laser.

So, you're familiar with lasers, right? Invisible unless they hit something? Travel in a straight line? Well, some military researcher has discovered a way to make sound waves behave exactly the same way. Travel in a straight line, and are completely inaudible unless they hit something.It can also be transmitted over huge distances without losing too much power, exactly like a laser.

So. A way to have wireless power using only sound would be to get one of these hypersonic speakers, miniaturise it, put it inside a wall plug, and have it transmit the sound waves to a surface on the object being charged (I'm thinking something similar to a subwoofer, it moves backwards and forwards). If it was a high frequency (inaudible), and there was a magnet inside a copper coil attached to the other end of this flexible surface, the vibrations would make power.

I had a thought for a Sound bomb.
I read somewhere that if you create enough pitch you can break glass.
Imagine how much chaos one could cause if you made a pitch even louder?

Move over Nukem!
You got Sound waves!

The problem is that it might be easier or more productive to transmit around the same pitch in the electromagnetic spectrum, AKA gamma rays. Then again, increasing it again wouldn't really do much, so a Sound Bomb might be pretty good.
