I doubt it's a hoax from MIT.

"The big showstopper for this," says theoretical physicist
Douglas Stone of Yale University, who was not part of the study,
"would be if people, entities or devices that are not supposed to
absorb the radiation do absorb it."

Stone says the most striking thing about WiTricity is its simplicity.
"This is an idea that is based on principles that are more than 100
years old," he says. "We're not all thinking about 11 dimensions
and the beginning and end of the universe."

Details about WiTricity, or wireless electricity, were reported yesterday
in Science Express, an online publication of the journal Science.
