I figured rectifiers could be pretty small, benefiting from the overall reduction in semiconductor sizes. That whole RF beam forming and antenna stuff gets beyond my basic electronics knowhow. Of course with Apple working with Cochlear, maybe someday the whole device will just be attached to

Hey if I could be such a prolific inventor I’d talk to the birds too.:) I think you have the basic idea although I think it’s a bit more complex than that. I do know there are some key semiconductors involved in modern wireless charging. As I understand it you’re using more of a radio

Of course Tesla also like to talk to pigeons :) I assume the basic idea is that the phone becomes the secondary coil of a basic transformer setup and then needs to have some kind of internal rectifier to change the power back to DC. I always thought transformers and capacitors were heavy bulky

Let’s not forget that wireless power was Mr. Tesla’s dream that Thomas Edison derailed with his unfair business practices and not paying Tesla etc. Who can say but if things were different we might be picking up energy from the air with antennas instead of using wires and plugs and outlets and

My goodness! Thanks for that read. I am thinking how helpful wireless charging may be in emergency preparedness situations. Although I may be missing something obvious, the article hints that the wireless charging runs on radio waves? As in electromagnetic spectrum? A few years back we had
