Wireless power

At conferences like LCA 2006, there are all these laptops running out of juice…. of course, those who try a compile of say MySQL or the Linux kernel, run out faster 😉

This is pretty cool: SplashPower. It’s a mat you put on your desktop, and then toss devices like your mobile, headset, and organiser on top of it – and voila, it will get power and charge. Less wire-clutter and very very handy.
It is of course induction based, and each device needs a tiny little strip of magic to make it work. So it is really a fairly generic solution.

SplashPower is not yet available in stores, they’re currently talking with distributors.

  1. You know, for years I’ve been talking about the need for “wireless power”. And everyone I talked to said, “that exists, it’s called a battery.” And I had to explain that I meant a continual power supply, much like a plug, but without the wires.

    I’m glad this product has come to light!
