1. A method for wireless powering of an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting controlled radio frequency waves from a pocket-forming transmitter to converge pockets of energy in 3-d space; and
capturing the pockets of energy in a receiver to charge or power the electronic device connected to the receiver or in the immediate vicinity of the receiver.
