Practical applications are impossible. Prototypes are easier, because they dont have to live in real world.
simple examples - can charge phone in my pocket while im moving around? that will require at least 2(3 to be viable) charging stations in the room. What if there are two people in that room? What if I have a cat and would like to keep him sane? what if my phone is in a lower pocked below the desk level? I have to take it out and put on the desk in unobscured spot? why not put it on $10 Qi pad? Charging multiple phones in a starbucks? haha give me a break.
and all the iot talk thrown in? Its typical 'this will change the world, we can do everything' BS startups do when their core technology doesnt work at all. They have a prototype!, just no real world numbers :))
- BinaryIdiot 12y agoI'm not saying you're wrong (I really don't understand the science behind the thing; at least not enough to form an opinion worth any consideration) but I'm curious how they would get $60M in total funding without this being a product that can be sold and used in the home. I'm very curious what happens when or if they launch.
