Wi-Charge claims to deliver power using focused beams of invisible infrared light.
The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver.
Transmitter connects to a standard power outlet and converts electricity into infrared laser beam.
Receivers use a miniature photo-voltaic cell to convert transmitted light into electrical power.
Receivers can be embedded into a device or connected into an existing charging port.
The transmitter automatically identifies chargeable receivers and start charging.
Several devices can charge at the same time.
According to Wi-Charge it can deliver several watts of power to a device at several meters away.
The core technology is based on a distributed laser resonator which is formed by the retroreflectors within the transmitter and the receiver.
This unique concept allows the charging of multiple devices without any moving components and if an opaque object enters one of the beams the corresponding power transfer is turned off automatically.
