Wireless Magnetic-Resonance Charging Dev Kit Delivers Up to 100 W
Powercast Corp. partnered with Etherdyne Technologies (ETI) to offer a wireless charging solution that can power multiple devices with up to 100 W of total power in a 3D magnetic energy field. It covers spaces as large as a common desktop (4 × 2 feet).
The solution provides an economical way to power higher-wattage charging for home, office, and industrial applications where multiple devices need power at the same time.
Based on Powercast's magnetic-resonance technology, and powered by ETI, the system uses a transmitter with a flexible wire loop that’s embedded into a surface. It creates a Wire-Free Power Zone that enables devices embedded with power receivers to convert the magnetic energy into electricity to power themselves or charge their batteries.
Example applications include a Wire-Free Desk that charges desktop components (i.e., a computer monitor, laptop charging stand, mouse, keyboard, a desk lamp, and Qi-compatible phone charger). The same technology can be used to create a Wire-Free Wall or Workbench, where power tools can be hung or placed to recharge.
An evaluation kit designed for R&D teams to explore magnetic-resonance Wire-Free Power is also available.
