Is this simple design the answer to all those trailing cables?

Hmm. If you're going to have electricity pass through the air, what happens if you stand in front of the beam?

[P.V.C.]

Well I bloody hope that it wont come in to soon as I will be out of a job.

I have read that they are now developing it

Hmm. Will you be able to steal some of your neighbour's electricity?

[P.V.C.]

Just like his wi-fi?I think you may need a password padan

A password for electricity? The world has gone mad.

Surely it would be more secure to use a physical security device, lets call it a plug, and connect it to a secure fixed distribution point, we'll call that a socket.

Of course, all that security would mean we'd need skilled tradesmen to fit these security devices.
