Do wireless power heads exist? Bunker

Havent seen any, they need a decent power source so I think it would be hard to do that if not impossible

Wireless as in remote control? or wireless as in power cords?

There is a new powerhead where the power cord stays outside the tank (using elctro-magnetic technology).....

What is this new powerhead where the power cord stays outside the tank? Would be nicer than seeing wires throughout a tank? Thanks for the infomation. Bunker

There is a DIY available....I'm trying to find the link(s)......

ecotech is working on a controller for the vortech that will control the powerhead wirelessly. The multi controller is supposed to control up to 10 wirelessly.

Are there any powerheads that rotate so that there is not thousands of gallons going in one direction? I have seen them online, but am unsure if they work well? Bunker

I just read in popular science that they are profecting wirless electricity. You'll be able to charge your cell phone or ipod just by putting it near the power base (2-3 feet I think) so 100% wireless powerheads ( and every thing for that matter) may be on the horizon..could be 5 years could be 15 who knows...
