When investors poured money into semi-conductors, no one did it thinking the end result would be the Internet. But, that is where most of the value was created. Likewise, no one thought that investing in optical lasers and photovoltaic's would create a wireless power system. But it did, and this is the main reason why PowerBeam was started.
