Many new and great things are coming out of Intel’s research department. This cool new innovation is called “Witriciy”. It basically transmits electricity through thin air to power a selected device. This great innovation will hopefully be implemented into tables and work surfaces so that as soon as a device is placed on a surface it will be able to receive power.
The technology uses magnetic fields to transfer up to 60 watts of power. With a distance of up to around two to three feet away, but it loses around 25% of power during the transmission phase. The new technology would initially be used to charge the battery of devices such as laptops, cameras, and cell phones, but Intel hopes to eventually eliminate the use of batteries altogether.
However Witricity is still in the early stages of development and a lot more research is required before the technology goes to the market. Witricity is something I would like to see working some time soon and I think it has a lot potential.
