Wireless Charging

Wireless technology is hardly a brand new concept. The first wireless technology was developed by Nikola Tesla in the 19th century. Unfortunately, there really was no real functional purpose for this technology at the time. Until now. With the rise of cellphones and other powered mobile devices, we as consumers are now able to embrace this incredible concept of inductive wireless charging.

What makes the idea of wireless charging so interesting is the fact that you can travel work and travel without having to tote your charging cables around with you. Or worse, forgetting them and being in a constant state of worry about low battery or having to shell out unnecessary money at a premium to buy at the airport. There are many types of wireless technologies, but the most used by smart phones brands is Qi. Having a universal qi platform allows us all to connect on the same charging grommets.

So let’s get into the basics of how it works:

Qi works with inductive power transfer. For a wireless charger to work, there are two main components: a transmitter coil, which is the base station, and a receiver coil, which is a Qi compatible mobile device. The transmitter sends signals to detect if there’s a receiver present. Once the transmitter detects a local receiver device, it activates the charging process. While charging, the transmitter coil generates an electromagnetic field that induces a current in the receiver’s coil. After the device is charged, the receiver sends a signal to the transmitter, and it goes back to standby mode.

Newer smartphones like iPhone 8 and iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy and Samsung Note are already Qi compatible so you’re likely ready to charge whether you knew it or not!
