Now, wireless recharging for mobile phones
September 16th, 2010 - 1:54 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Sep 16 (IANS) You will soon be able to recharge your mobile wirelessly.
Japanese technology company Fujitsu has developed a system that is capable of charging multiple portable electronic devices like mobile phones and laptop computers without the need for cable connections, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
The company unveiled a prototype system at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers conference at Osaka Prefecture University and it claimed that it was first of its kind in the world.
It works on the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device. The technology allows wireless charging at distances of up to several metres.
Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories plan to commercially sell products having wireless charging system by 2012.
“This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position with respect to the charger,” the company was quoted as saying in a statement.
The company added: “We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards or computer chips, and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”
