It is not uncommon to stumble upon some kind of innovative, unique device, invention, gadget on the Internet that is about to change our world. And it seems beautifully written and there is a picture and a video. And in terms of meaning, it seems like a necessary and convenient thing - you can really change a lot. But in fact, a couple of months pass and everyone forgets about it and no longer returns to this issue. Strange huh? Dream flight meets harsh reality.
What will happen this time. What I'm reading is that Wi-Charge has developed a device that can turn a room into one large wireless charger. Moreover, not one device can be charged, but several at once.
Cool idea? Will it go beyond the pretty pictures?
Here are some details. It is positioned like this:
In a world where smartphones have become almost an integral part of life, the question of where and how to recharge them is invariably relevant. With active use, recharging is required two or even three times a day.
Until now, the phrase "wireless charger" was associated exclusively with a small platform with which you can charge your phone without plugging in a USB cable. This allows you to extend the life of the smartphone's power connector, but to use such "chargers" you still need to find a free socket, which is not always possible.
Wi-Charge, an Israeli wireless electricity company, has created a device that transmits power over a distance and can charge multiple devices at the same time. Charging is done using an infrared beam that connects device A (transmitter) to device B (a gadget in need of recharging with a tiny receiver built into it). At the same time, unlike a wireless platform, there is no need for a close contact of the smartphone with the base.

In this case, the transmitter is able to identify itself the devices that need recharging, and establish what its power requirements are (battery size, charge level and other relevant parameters). Wi-Charge is capable of charging devices within a 10 meter radius, while combining multiple transmitters allows for increased coverage and power.
Energy transfer is practically lossless, using a narrow beam. It is safe for people and animals. If an obstacle arises in the path of the beam, charging stops and automatically restarts when the space between the receiver and transmitter is free again.
Wi-Charge does not interfere with Wi-Fi (wireless Internet), landline wireless phones and other devices.
In addition, the Wi-Charge is the first FDA-approved device of its kind to meet international safety standards.
The device developed by the Israeli company can be installed in cafes and restaurants, in offices (for example, in meeting rooms), in train stations and in other public places.
So what! Once upon a time in general, wireless charging seemed fantastic, but now it is almost everywhere. What will prevent this exercise from making its way to the masses?
