Powermat – Wire-free power to electronic devices

closeThis post was published 1 year 2 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.

pm Alternative ways to supply power for devices is always something I am looking at.  My friend, Saar Avigour from Pocket PC Freak had a piece up on his site that really intrigued me.  Although I was unable to read the text (non-English), the pictures were enough to peak my interest.  His article deals with a technology that brings wireless electricity to surfaces for easy charging of your devices WITHOUT wires.

It is designed to replace the need to access multiple electrical sockets with the flexibility and freedom of wireless power for real-time powering and charging of electronic devices of almost any kind in almost any environment. Powermat technology revolutionizes the way energy is consumed in the every day course of interaction with our environment.

Powermat offers the only scalable solution to transform large work surfaces and wall areas into safe and efficient conductors of electricity and is easily integrated into building construction and furniture design.

    After seeing the presentation from CES, this seems to be amazing technology, I look forward to trying it for myself. Once the technology is built into our gadgets it can only get better. No more cords - sign me up!

    also, placing on a mat is great but isn’t that just the same as placing on my night stand now and plugging in to the cord i taped to it?

    Not really. You don't have to worry if the plug is oriented correctly when plugging in or worry about forgetting that the device is plugged in when leaving and yanking everything off the nightstand.

    I do wonder what happens if you spill something on charging mat, though.

    there have been a number of these products in the past few years, but they have never received any sort of adoption.

    1. the product manufacturer would have to license the technology (pay for it) to the device builder so they could build the device to charge in that fashion.

    2. the device builder would no longer have batteries and power cords of assorted models to sell.

    It was convenient when Microsoft REQUIRED OEMs to use MiniUSB as the charging/data connections for new WM5.0 at the time. If you notice that very few others use any sort of standard.

    I'm not knocking the technology, I think it would be great to be able to set my devices on the table/night stand and they would be ready to go in the AM... it just isn't new.
