Power By Induction?

From the University of Washington: The experimental setup has a large transmission coil, at the right, connected to the building's electricity. At the left is the receiving coil, and near it is a smaller coil connected to a commercial heart pump sitting in a jar of fluid.

Interesting concept: using inductive power to possibly power a left ventricular assist devices.

Hope it works some day.
