crunchgear.com— If you've ever begrudged carrying several device chargers, then this new option could be for you. Using a thin plate, devices simply rest on top of the charger and charge through osmosis.

At first I thought it was just a lame description using the word osmosis for something that is definitely not. But the article uses the word osmosis as well. Bad journalism.
From the looks of it its induction charging, while great in theory you'll run into problems around things that can't be around strong magnetic fields. Like hard drives, credit cards, some wireless devices
Tesla's labratory burnt down, his funding removed and he went bankrupt and crazy before he died. Do research, he already played around with transporting electricity wirelessly (ionsphere).What kind of control would the energy companies have if you could do this (even in a small adhoc manner).
So, will we have to fill our battery cases with some sort of liquid, and then throw our phones into a bucket to charge them? That's how I see osmosis working, and my phone isn't liking the bucket of liquid idea.
The man had ideas for fraking high voltage plates in the ceiling and floor that would generate a high frequency oscillating electric field. You could light fuorescent tubes without connecting them. This idea is nothing by comparison. Ridiculous that people pretend like this is somehow related to Tesla's plans even in the slightest.

I agree... this is kinda cool, but Tesla was way beyond this.

Osmosis no, radio frequency induction yesby the way, this is quite old
