Powerkiss gives your dead battery the kiss of life

We've all been there. The mobile phone or laptop battery works on most of the drawbacks. Powerkiss Finland wants to start solving this problem by building furniture providers of wireless services. The company has just launched a new series of products: a small receiver that connects to handheld devices (the ring) and an electric transmitter built into a cupboard and a table (the heart). You put the device on the table and charged wirelessly.

The new receiver will work with mobile phones from Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, HTC, RIM and other devices that support microUSB. Apple support should follow shortly. After experiencing the product in the Helsinki airport and a few cafes in the city, Powerkiss now plans to start selling internationally. Some hp 510 ac adapter manufacturers already sell paints with transmitters embedded Powerkiss Finns. Powerkiss seeks public places like airports, hotels, restaurants and conferences.

The loading technique was developed internally Powerkiss and is based on the induction of a resonance field creates an electromagnetic field around the transmitter of the Heart. The receiver adjusts the ring current produced by the field with the requirements of the mobile device. The induction of this type has a very short, so that the transmitter and receiver must be very close together. Other methods for transmitting power wirelessly, as the conversion of radio waves to DC power supply, have a longer reach, but are more suitable for low power devices such as wireless sensors.

A California company called PowerBeam uses transmitters and receivers that convert optical power to transmit optical power. The receiver converts the optical power back into electricity. Power can therefore be "transmitted" to any device in the line of sight.
