There’s this YouTube channel I check out occasionally. The YouTuber built a “wireless desk” where everything from the lamp to the mouse, keyboard, and even a coffee warmer were wirelessly powered.
The core of it was a large induction loop built into the desk’s perimeter, paired with some surprisingly compact receiver dongles. Some parts required deeper DIY, like opening up the mouse and inserting a small receiver, but overall it was cool
Scaling that concept up for an entire house is a wild thought... but kind of exciting!
