gollark: Or, for short distances, boost the voltage dangerously high and it can just *arc* across the gap!
gollark: Beam data across with radio (or for ultimate coolness, lasers), and power with... also radio?, or just don't send power along and expect the other side to be plugged in.
gollark: It's... technically possible.
gollark: Idea: wireless USB cables.
