OK guys, my electronics background is rudimentary at best. I expect the elctronics wizzards to figure this out. I have an idea what is involved. Enjoy.

Since I cannot seem to get the video to play, I will just leave the link:

Hi Andrew, I'm getting an error when I try to watch this.
Can anyone else see this, or is it just me?

It shows an error for me too.

I think this is the video though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1eMryiU1ro

Just looked at his solution video for his parallel LED's puzzle, I am very impressed.

Given the work he did for this circuit I suspect he uses similar ingenuity for the wireless power one too.

Sorry guys..;I have no idea what happened. The video is available. Just go to his channel. You will really get a kick out of it.

That's pretty amazing. Got no idea how it's done! :bowdown:

I have seen something similar before. Not commenting on this particular implementation, but you CAN use very tiny capacitors attached to the LEDs. Based on the capacitor and the LED leads acting as antenna, you can create lights that draw power from different radio frequencies in an LRC circuit. The oscillators could be tuned to a range of specific signals. Input to the controller for such could be regulated by a similar circuit hidden in the switches. NOTHING particular about how he did it, but my working guess. That, or some science-smoke and meta-mirrors.

I think some people can turn off their videos from playing from other websites.

Just saw this. It reminds me of some magicians I used to know. Look here....don't look over there. Not terribly difficult to put parts inside the switches and the 9 volt battery connector. Instead of a thin battery connector he uses one of the thickest ones I've ever seen. And the LEDs are painted with fingernail polish. You can see it as he didn't match the colors well. Reminds me of the small fan that runs when you place a magnet near it. Of course you don't see the button battery or the magnetic switch placed inside the fan.
