If you love The Prestige, like I do, you probably remember that neat scene where Nikola Tesla (played by David Bowie... love it) powers up an entire field of lightbulbs with no wires. It was a great demonstration of how little-known principles of physics can seem synonymous with magic.

Far fetched? No way. Artist Richard Box has made an installation piece by "planting" 1,301 florescent bulbs in a field. They also glow without any wires. How? They're powered by the electromagnetic field produced by the power lines above. Makes you question the way you think about energy, doesn't it? Also might make you question your living space if there are transmission wires nearby.
