Wireless ChargingTechnology: Facts And Features

By Paul Barber


Let's assume say you own 1 or 2 devices, doubtless a phone, a portable tablet and a netbook or laptop computer. Maybe you even have an iPod or an MP3 player and a hand-held Nintendo game console. It's probably safe to say that you have several different chargers and adapters for each. If then you're like me, it's likely that you have lent a charger or have become provoked with all the wires on your desk and drawers. Multiply the number of chargers to the amount of gadgets your relatives have as well and the annoyance increases. Well, wireless charging technology aims to keep wires (and hence the clutter) small and to make you truly mobile.



Why do you need it?

Recent improvements in portable technology, extra features like wireless connectivity from mobile to COMPUTER, better displays and better processors, demand more juice from batteries. Let's admit it, carrying a charger around and looking for a power outlet each 8 hours is not practiable, and this is where wireless charging technology comes in. The idea of wireless charging comes from Nikola Tesla's wireless energy transfer and it fundamentally provides you with a central platform with which to charge your devices. The company Powermat where the pioneers in the utilisation of the technology with their Powermat wireless charging system.



How does wireless charging technology work?

As the name implies, the system makes use of 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 need to replace your phone's back plate with a custom fit door receiver, and that's that.Then you could charge your mobile by setting it down on the pad. In some models of the Powermat, you can charge two to three gizmos at the exact same time. As you'd expect you'd need to buy door receivers for each gizmo. Door receivers are available for a good range of popular devices from Blackberry, Apple, Samsung, and HTC, among other manufacturers.



If your device doesn't have a custom fit receiver made for it, you can go for a universal Powercube. The Powercube is quite literally, the jack of all trades in the Powermat system. It contains 8 tips (or jacks) so that you can basically plug pretty much anything to charge them.



Albeit, getting a set of Powermats will require you to shell out yet more money, though for the ease and portability the system affords, I say it's worth the investment.
