>> Physics doesn't say no to wireless power, but it does say "Only if humans are not nearby or you want small amounts of power (<1w)".

Wouldn't the limit be raised if you could build a system that detects whether a human is in the power path(or stray paths) to turn the power off, and do that fast and accurate ?

Well, sure. Next question: Would you trust your life to that system?

'Cause your answer really shouldn't be "yes" unless there is some very, very compelling reason that there is absolutely no other choice, and there pretty much always is.
