This Wireless Electricity is good if it will work in Rural Area.

Distance is the trick. The power drops rapidly from the source. So traditionally you have to have it in every room that you want it. It doesn't go far enough to go from house to house. Which is probably good because no one would know whom to bill for power usage.

Yeah so i am wondering if the said wireless Electricity need to have internet connection also password.
In our province we are using Solar Energy . -

In our province we are using Solar Energy .You would still use wireless, wireless is to replace batteries, not power lines or solar cells. The idea of wireless is that it means you don't have to plug your phone into the wall to charge, it just has to be near the wall. You still have to run power to the house and run power in the walls the traditional way.

I see got it now.

It is a great idea though. Think about all of the cords that you have all over the house to plug things in. They are dangerous and messy. This would eliminate those and change how batteries work. In theory it could make some devices more efficient. But there are a lot of hurtles too.
For me, the awesome thing is that iPads, phones, laptops and similar devices would never die or charge, they would just be wirelessly powered all of the time.

yeah so no need to worry if you forgot your laptop charger .. it means.. you can charge anywhere

Exactly. As long as everyone installs this kind of charging. Switching people over will be the hard thing. And it isn't going to work for your dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, laundry machines, water heater, etc. It is really only designed for small electronic components.

That would be amazing things i guess. No need to plug/unplug .

There are a few challenges. Inside the phone they have to switch from batteries to high longevity capacitors to make it work. There is a lot of research going on to make that happen, but it alone is a big hurtle.
