Since the Wireless Power RoadTest Design Competition began, we have been deeply impressed by the efforts of our competitors to use this groundbreaking technology in their individual projects.
We were delighted by vsluiter's creation of wirelessly powered Lego train; this demonstrates on a micro level the potential of this technology to revolutionise the recharging of electric vehicles.
We were also fascinated by COMPACT's work with the technology and his uses for Wireless Power ranging from charging a Beaglebone to testing how well it worked through glass; his thoroughness was commendable.
However, in the end, we judged there could be only one winner, johnsocm, whose Wireless Power solutions for both Raspberry Pi and the Beaglebone represented innovation at its best. Furthermore, he consistently recorded his progress with enthusiasm and panache.

Chad is also the winner of the Wireless Power Home Blog Competition; his description of a day in a wirelessly powered home gives a tantalising glimpse into the future. His prize for this, an Amazon Kindle, will be dispatched to him shortly.
Once again, congratulations to Chad and a heartfelt thank you to all who participated in this event.
