Wireless Charging: Wireless Charging Technology To Broaden Its Scope From Small Devices To PC And Tablets

We have the latest news for you on wireless charging technology. Wireless charging technology for small devices such as phones is now available in the market and will be available next year for laptops and tablets. That is the information that has been reported by Computer World based on IDG news. "This is a big, big deal. In the next several years you will see hundreds of thousands of charge stations. Intel's desire is that wireless charging evolve from wearable to the phone to the tablet to the PC," Kirk Skaugen who is the senior vice president and general manager of Intel's PC client Group, revealed to CW.

This will therefore outdate the use of extended batteries or extra batteries since people will now change to the use of charge stations as said by Kirk Skaugen in a Webcast keynote Friday at the IFA trade show in Berlin. Currently there is already interest being show by other computer manufacturers including Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Panasonic and the list is expected to grow even bigger as time goes by and the technology grow stable and develops.

Intel is currently developing a charge station that is said to be able to charge normal laptops but not the larger screen or gaming laptops yet. This is a report from CW which further goes on to reveal that the technology is from the Alliance for Wireless Power, A4WP, which has more than 100 members including big names in the industry such as Qualcomm and Samsung and that this is all part of a larger push for several wire-free capabilities to enter the market in the next two to three years.

According to a Report from BGR, a technology has been created to power in-between consumer electronics such as the speakers, and keyboards or equipment such as robots or guided vehicles and bioelectric devices like cardiac pacemakers. The device which does all this amazing things is said to have been invented at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia in Spain. "This phenomenon is produced when a resonant object is moved closer to a second resonant element and both resonance frequencies are equal or quite similar. This physical proximity produces an energy coupling from the first device that acts as the source to the second one that acts as the charge," said Jose Sanchez-Dehesa, a researcher at the Wave Phenomena Group of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.
