Will Electricity ever be able to be transmitted without wires through the air?
Imagine the possibilities. Can electrcity be made to be inert until it is received by the device?
Answers:
Definately No.
Air is such a poor conductor of electricity.
I asked the same question last week, here's a link to the best answer i chose. in summary possible , but is it practical.

Yes and No.
no, not safely. The electrons must pass through something, and if that something is the air, there is no bounds on where it goes. Therefore everything will be recieving electrisity all the time, pretty dangerous, i would immagine. pretty painful for us, too.
Microwave transmission
It has already been done. Study the works of Nickola Tesla.
But, Westinghouse took this information, so, you may need to confront that corporation. I believe it comes down to Greed. IF, Electricity is Transmitted then people could get it free!!
It has been said that anything we can imagine can become reality.All it takes is sufficient funding & years of intense research,so, my answer to your question is,yes,some-day.
Well, I think you have just invented lightning. Power can be transmitted through the air and is (after all radio waves carry power). However once you start chucking large amounts of energy around there is a problem. Imagine beaming a lot of energy down from a source out in space. What if you miss the target?
Yes, through induction: as in transformer. A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy from one circuit to another by magnetic coupling with no moving parts. A transformer comprises two or more coupled windings, or a single tapped winding and, in most cases, a magnetic core to concentrate magnetic flux. An alternating current in one winding creates a time-varying magnetic flux in the core, which induces a voltage in the other windings. Transformers are used to convert between high and low voltages, to change impedance, and to provide electrical isolation between circuits.
I should think it would be quite a SHOCKING experience.......
(Sorry --- couldn't resist it !! - I know you're trying to be serious)
yes, if the voltage is enough high the electricity can transmitted through the air.
it is happening every-wear in lightnings.
Fairy wings are the most efficient way electricity is transmitted. They have internal generators which cause their wings to flutter rapidly. Occassionally they tap into power sockets but don't worry, they always wear their little glass shoes so they don't get fried.
no, it is impossible for electricity to be transmitted wirelessly and it cant be made to be inert either as it would require alot more energy to send it this way than to send it by wires
yes of course it can. What do u think lighting is!
It is already done. Radio for example. You can make radio without any battery - it will work from the signal.
Lightning!!!
Yes its called lightning.
No because it would be so hard to control, everyone would be getting electricuted all the time and power cuts would be all the more common, and if you happened to drive your car, fly your plane or ride your bike through it you would probably die!
Yes, We can transmit the electricity through air. It will take huge power and difficult to transmit for far place. There is one thing it is impossible is the air has very high resistance.
YES! what do you think lightning is?
can it be done safely? don't think so, not without converting it to another form of energy
I really don't know the answer ..which did come 1st? the chicken or the egg?
Is it man's arrogance that has lead to the misconception we have evolved from the present day apes?
In the beginning there was nothing, then it exploded,?
if i tickled you would you giggle?
If you met an alien what would you say to him/her?
Does similarity between different species necessarily mean that they're physically related through evolution?
Is resonating the same as vibrating or oscillating?
Why is the answer to multiplication called 'product'?
