This is great. Now, we're just waiting for better batteries: stretching out 20 minutes of flight time across a day or even morning of skiing, kayaking, etc. is going to be difficult. I guess you can carry batteries with you.
- profinger 11y agoEspecially at the rate that batteries degrade. It'll be no time before you're getting 3-4 minutes per charge!
- timmaah 11y agoBattery is not removable.
- crimsonalucard 11y agoThat's horrible and possibly a deciding factor. I guess it had to be done in order to make it waterproof.
- mapt 11y agoI concur, you really need the possibility of multiple battery loads in order to get full value out of this stuff. Can you do non-conductive power transmission at reasonable weights and efficiencies? I mean, my toothbrush does it, but I can't speak to the charging rate.
- crimsonalucard 11y agoWireless power transmission can only be implemented using alternating current through induction. Very hard to implement this in any meaningful way for battery powered digital devices.
