Heard of this stuff for notebooks a year or two ago, but it was waaay too expensive.

There was a post about inductive chargers a while back on MURC.
Though there is one way cool application I can think of. Imagine making the Ligitech MX700 an inductive charged device and the mouse pad the charger. No worry about battery life then, cause it would always be powered by the mouse pad

No, to blank credit cards...i think the induction loop generates a magnetic field also, and can wipe any magnetic storage media placed directly upon it...
Like in stores when they put the anti-theft transponder on an induction table to short it out. Put a credit card on there and you are stuffed...
maybe they've sorted it out by now...PC-1 Fractal Design Arc Mini R2, 3800X, Asus B450M-PRO mATX, 2x8GB B-die@3800C16, AMD Vega64, Seasonic 850W Gold, Black Ice Nemesis/Laing DDC/EKWB 240 Loop (VRM>CPU>GPU), Noctua Fans.

Yeah, Inductive charging works by creating a magnetic field and inducing a charge from the flux in the secondard (in this case the toothbrush or phone etc). Due to heating and regulations on interferance, the induced current in the target device is going to be pretty low... enough to charge a low voltage battery however such as a mobile phone or toothbrush, or other device. I imagine it'll take longer to charge the phone that way than through a direct connection however.
