A New Push to Solve Wireless Charging

• DiabloD3 13y ago
  We already have a standard for wireless charging, its called Qi. Since almost all wireless charging devices out (such as the Google Nexus 5, and anything else that works on the Nexus wireless charging base) are Qi, the tech described in the article may be dead on arrival. Plus, Qi has already standardized 120w charging (useful for laptops and such), and devices with that should be coming out soon.

    Qi doesn't work through tables.

      Some Qi chargers work up to 2 inches away, so no, that isn't entirely true. I'd rather embed the charger in the desk though, and the Nexus charger is very small and very low profile as it is.

  Comparing this to charing through a wire and charging with Qi, how much energy is lost with this new tech?
