Wireless ChargingTechnology: Facts And Features

By Paul Barber


Shall we say you own a few contraptions, possibly a phone, a tablet, and a netbook or laptop computer. Maybe you also have an iPod or an MP3 player and a hand-held video game console. It's probably fair to say that you have different chargers and adapters for each. If you are like me, it is possible that now and then you've misplaced a charger or have become annoyed with all of the necessary wires on your desk and drawers. Multiply the number of chargers to the amount of contraptions your relatives have as well and the aggravation increases. Well, wireless charging technology wants to keep wires (and hence the mess) to a minimum and to make you actually mobile.



Why do you need it?

Recent innovations in mobile technology, new features like wireless connectivity from telephone to COMPUTER, better displays and better processors, demand more energy from batteries. Let's face it, carrying a charger around and looking for a power outlet each 8 hours is the pits, and this is where wireless charging technology comes in. The idea of wireless charging originally comes from Nikola Tesla's wireless energy transfer and it fundamentally provides a concentrated platform with which to charge your devices. The company Powermat developed the use of the technology with their Powermat wireless charging system.



How does wireless charging technology work?

As the name suggests, the system utilises a mat or a wireless charging pad. The pad acts as the transmitter while the receiver comes as a back plate (or a door). To utilise the machine you simply need to replace your phone's back plate with a custom fit door receiver, and it's as simple as that. You can charge your telephone by setting it down on the pad. In some models of the Powermat, you can charge two to three gadgets at the same time. As you'd expect you'd need to buy door receivers for each gadget. Door receivers are available for a large range of popular devices from Blackberry, Apple, Samsung, and HTC, among other popular manufacturers.



If your device doesn't have a custom fit receiver made for it, you can choose a universal Powercube. The Powercube is quite literally, the dabbler in the Powermat system. It includes 8 tips (or jacks) so we can fundamentally plug more or less anything to charge them.



Frankly, getting a group of Powermats will need you to shell out yet more cash, though for the ease, convenience and portability the system affords, I say it's worth the investment.
