How many times has it happened to you that you want to make
an important phone call and your phone battery is dead, or you are walking in a dark
room and trip over your extension chord. A member of our group was actually
involved in one of the above mentioned situations. She had managed a car
accident for the 2nd time in a week !!!, and was stranded in the
middle of the road with her dead cell phone. She wanted to contact the police
but she couldn’t. She wanted to contact the Tow Your Car service, but she
couldn’t. But most importantly she wanted to contact her family to tell them
that everything was alright, but she couldn’t.
Imagine being in a similar situation, where you want to make
an important phone call but your phone battery is dead, or you forgot your laptop
charger and your in the middle of an important presentation and your laptop dies.
We have came across this photo on facebook and as funny and sarcastic
it may seem, it is actually very true that with every passing day, our
dependency on technology is increasing. The more complex technology gets, the
more power it consumes and the more number of charging points are needed. Most
of us today use atleast 2 portable electronic devices. Probably 20 years from
now when the oil reserves of the world will be finished, our entire dependence
for power would shift to electricity.
So does that mean that we’ll be carrying a suitcase full of
chargers to charge our electronic gadgets wherever we go?
A wise man said once that “necessity is the mother of
invention”. The question is how is this proverb valid with respect to this
article?
Imagine if you didn’t need charging cables or disposable
batteries ever, and your devices got charged wirelessly. Sounds like magic
dosen’t it??
Well…. As Arthur C Clark puts it… “Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”
Although most of you might find this hard to believe, this
is actually possible !!!
Wireless power is the future of all electronic devices. And
that’s exactly what this blog is all about. So sit back, grab some popcorn and
enjoy, because your in for 1 hell of a ride !!!

Good post but I'm not sure if you know about it, Nokia and Nexus 4 phones had the options for wirelessly charging your phone battery. Although both of them required the user to put the phone on top of some charging pad, it wasn't as convenient as you have described earlier.
ReplyDeleteIndeed we do know! That,s why we covered this topic later on. There are companies that do sell charging pads and flip charguing cases. As you said ,they aren´t that convenient... but at least you dont need cables bothering around! And for sure that wireless power will evolve. I invite you to read some other post here, there are people who envision standarization, where all devices would be able to be charged through its uses without the need to leave them on top of a station.

ReplyDeleteI had never considered the possibility of charging batteries, cell phone, computer, toothbrush ... without wiring, plug or during a power outage. It would be great! Would also reduce the stress that you have when on a trip, a presentation, etc.. you have a low battery.
DeleteTotally agree Azucena! I am fascinated as much as you are with these technology! I hope you keep reading our blog and discovering with us the unlimited possibilities wireless power offers! Thanks for your comment! Best,
DeleteThe only I know wireless power perhaps solar
ReplyDeletePepa, solar power is a different kind of resource. Hope you join us in this ¨wireless power technology trip¨. We will be glad to have you around! Have a nice day full off energy! Kind regards!
