Fulton Innovation, a company dedicated to â€Ã…“creating technologies that not only affect the way devices interact with each other, but how cultures interact with their environment” is behind the wireless technologies which made this possible. They are also the ones responsible for projects like Splashpower, eCoupled and Alkemi-Insights.

Or the Tesla turbine made out of a hard drive? Nikola Tesla patented these turbines back in 1913, but he wasn't able to build them properly because the metals he could use at that time didn't have the right thickness and quality.
