  • not really wirless, I was thinking portible not having a desk with wires under it!

  • wow

  • Cool. I can't believe technology has gotten to a point where it chargers give power wirelessly. Where can I get this.

  • Hey what's the name of the charger, that was first introduced?

  • this is awesome! i want one! no more wired adapters.... this guy is going to be very, very rich!

  • this is awesome! i want one!

  • hahahahah suck my shit you fuck ass

  • This is the most useless thing I've seen in a long time. The sad fact is he probably got a government grant to develop this. Have we become a society that is in such a hurry we don't have time to plug in a cord? Perhaps he should spend his time developing something worth while.

  • @misterektome what if they had told the inventor of the wheel "Have we become a society that is in such a hurry that we don't have time to walk?" can you imagine how the world would be today? Sadly, this guy didn't invent this thing, it's been around for quite a while...

  • But will it blend?

  • @phonescoop Does this desk support phones like the HTC Sensation?

  • where can i buy these?

  • So where can i get this?

    

  • useless ... u need a power cord couse bateryes need liniar charging for optimal use ... meaning full charge to 100% empty to full charge to 100% empty and so one ... meaning useless  ... sorry my bad eng not my native language

  • @contytub i want to say that when u need the phone with wireless charger the charging stops ... with the cord it doesn-t

  • @tinderinc Chevolet made the volt not GMC. I'm not trying to be a smartass but I know my cars

  • i think this is amazing.

  • wat if the thing that charges dead batteries battery dies???????????////

  • What about GETPOWERPAD's design?

  • Why doesnt Gmc put this in the VOLT or Nissan have this in the LEAF? wow

  • get rid of that faggot salesman

  • If u put wireless charging devices on the high way then you can charge electric cars??

  • @petritwow

    of course, if you put only 6 tesla coils on the world, all the world will be electrify and all the things will be charged

    pd. the tesla coil need to be 30 meters.

  • press left arrow + up arrow and u can play snake :D

  • Thats useless. Expensive, and it gas to be touching the mat. Let me walk aroubd the room with it and have it charge then ill be impressed.

  • But will it blend?

  • #Inductive charging #InductiveCharging #inductiveCoupling #Wireless #WirelessCharging #THEFUTURE #FUTUREISNOW

  • I would imagine this to be a rather inefficient way to charge.

    Cool nonetheless.

  • PVC

  • PVC

  • >>sleek310 - if you read carefully, i said the guy's voice is sooo annoying as the actual technology is really fascinating, but the actual voice of the person made it very irritating to watch and listen to. And for the record im not going to say I have gay friends and that I don't have a problem, I hate them!!!, as near enough every dealing i've had with them has proven this even moreso! It's my opinion from the events in MY life, so shut ur mouth, jog on and don't try n dictate my opinions!!!

  • This is not what Tesla "came up with." He experimented with transferring large amounts of raw electricity between places, like static electricity, but on a huge scale. There is a big difference between untamed electricity and this. Your xbox has a power brick for a reason, raw electricity will fuck it up.

  • this guy's voice is sooo annoying, i swear he's gay!!!

  • @putt5ardaran0a What difference does it make if he's gay? should he keep his mouth shut unless he's straight? I absolutely hate when someone watches a video and goes completely off the topic to try to decode someones sexuality as if it has any bearing on the content of the video then turn around and say I have gay friends I dont have a problem with gay ppl or I'm gay so I can say that...thumbs up if your tired of ppl making big deals out of someone possibly being gay

  • @Sleek310

    Indeed Sleek. Sexuality has nothing to do with the presentation of the device nor does it imply a greater or lessor worth than any other human being.

    That aside the technology demonstrated is amazing. This goes to show that many of the fantasia of many scores ago can imbue hope in the future!

  • @Sleek310 But... He's gay.... That means he's different! Different is bad!!!!!!

  • fake

  • wait... so where can i get those that can be put into the car?

  • that was my idea :'(

  • This gives me an idea but I'll have to find a way to connect magnets

  • at 2:20 , how did the iphone work without a cover?

  • @jaisinghania they built chips and put in in each electronic device.

    sleek neat unnoticeable

  • It works almost exactly the same as a normal phone or laptop charger, current passes through a series of coils, generates magnetism, the devices have different coils which turn this magnetism back down to a safe voltage to charge the battery, why not just bring the normal charger and save yourself carying around bulky, expencive electromagnetic chargers like this?

  • @rapidchoper because people sometimes want to have the most stupid useless gadgets around them -_-

  • now if only u could charge devices without them being put on the magnet. if the hole desk did what that magnet does then i would buy it

  • That's really great ,but are there any coils in these phones and devices? if there are not how would phones and devices recive the energy without these coils that recive the energy by magnetic inductin. please i need an answer

  • This is great! Maybe in ten years electric wiring will be obsolete! For example, you wouldn't need to plug your TV on a electric socket and all these ugly cables hanging under your computer desks.

  • 1) Hold your breath.

    2) Copy all of these steps.

    3) Go to two other video.

    4) Paste it in the comments.

  • The clock on the power mat (R) is flickering, so I think that the power mat (R) is not as good as the other methods shown in this video

  • @MrCalvinGu

    I actually think it has something to do with the type of display,... Like if you try to record something on a TV using a video camera, you can see the TV flickering too... I guess the clock does the same thing.

  • wow some1 tell us how 2 make 1 at home how about u kipkay =)

  • So what makes this revolutionary or better over the standard "old fashioned" way of charging devices?

  • @korkiwi so we as humans can become even more lazy.. but in all seriousness just think about in 20 years when all electronics in your home, office,..ect will never need to be plugged in. this will be when everything is wireless, electricity, wireless computer monitors, wireless networking, I believe that it will not be to long before you will never need any type of hard wiring for any thing in your home, just set your TV on the stand and turn it on, set your xbox next to your tv and it syncs up.

  • @cblazer what you said made me think of early operating systems and how they were text-based, there were probably people saying "some day you won't need to know any commands to work on a computer" :)

  • @dotchoo very true. It may be the future we are seeing right now. My only concern is it safe. Will it cause cancer.

  • @borgtennis yyyeeeah i think we need to concern ourselves with our food and grooming products first. all those petrol-based compounds? yep. cancer. and i don't think magnets would cause cancer anyway.

  • that's wonderful !!!

  • Does the mat get warm? I wonder how efficient is it? A great idea for the car but at home but aren't we wasting electricity since it will have a significant draw even without a host being charged?

  • @InspireImages well.. you could somehow get a switch to turn it off.. much like a light switch .. i mean exactly

  • Secondly, (read previous)

    - "oh lulz so what Tesla did this 100 years ago". Anyone who has studied about it knows it's way more difficult to make something on an electronic level rather than making an unrestrained power source. Personally I haven't heard of Tesla charging up iPods during his experiments. No, I'm pretty convinced that he WOULD be happy to see his studies and work being still useful and applied to stuff he never thought would exist.

  • People in the comments need to be aware of a few things.

    - "Running wirelessly from Niagara Falls". There's a REASON radio power is too weak. Hell, the amount of power it would take to do that would fry anything living or electronic hundreds of yards away from the power plant. It's not like it's not possible to make radio power stronger. That would be a joke. The real challenge is making it small and having your cell phone still work with mountains and buildings and distance in the way.

  • This is miniscule compared to what Tesla envisioned. Unfortunately not all his dreams came true but many did.

    Magnetic Induction was already known by the Greeks 2000 years before Tesla.

    What would have made him happy is a washing machine in detroit running from Niagara falls power station wirelessly. We call it radio today and the energy transfer is too weak.

    Perhaps in the future they will solve this, as copper is getting very expensive.

  • Wake me up when they make a true wireless charger where you don't need to lay your device on a "receiver" to charge or charges a device through the air.

  • @korkiwi That'll be about the time you feel your brain turning to mush from all the microwaves running through it.

  • any body can make this if you guy are want a real good idea hit me up.

  • hmm what i understood that the thing which should be charged in this way must be modified and have "half" of charger on his back while other "half" of charger is in pad/table/what ever. And thats the only way in which magnetic induction would work. So it will add some weight to your wireless charging iPhone.

  • I'm surprised that apple hasn't latched onto this idea and made thier own powermat. That way they could internalize the reciever that would normally have to exist on that horribly bulky case. They could just call it "the iMat" and it could charge all the newer apple devices. So say you have an iPad, and an iPhone, and maybe a MacBook...you could charge all on them by using the iMat.

    Seriously, they need to get on that.

  • they should make it so the bump is thinner and dosent come out of the case because it will be alot more comfy for the user.

  • They should just put all these mats in to tables at all stores so we just need a case

  • 3:30 OMG is that an iPhone

  • i better not be paying for something that has been patented and invented 100 years ago!

  • yeah..... isn't it charging longer than common wire?

  • oh my satan!!!

  • omg!!!

  • it would take less time to plug in the charger in than to point the device on the right location.... idiots

  • more impressive when tesla did it a century ago

  • if i had that when i get back from school my ipod would go right there

  • wireless... but... it still needs to be touching the energy source... so there is really no diffrence between this and when something is wired up

  • thats so sik

  • ima make one of these things but mine is gonna be better ima make mine solar. ha ha i already made one.

  • so is that desktop charger like the power matt in the sence that it needs a reciever on EACH device?

  • Can you imagine once this device gets upgraded and the wireless range of the product gets increased, you could just walk in your house and your phone will automatically be recharging without you even having to plug it in, you could just be watching TV or even talking on your phone, and your phone will just be getting wireless power and recharging in your pocket, and what if they implement outside, you could just drive your electric car while it gets charged wirelessly goodbye oil company fucks

  • @vanityvideo nice idea but not really how it works, to impliment that kind of thing you would have all kinds of issues from random metal objects heating up, to electrical storms in your house!

  • @RustyNex Please, correct me, if I'm wrong, but I believe that, from the explanation in this video. The power is only sent once communication between the two devices has been established. So, that should prevent the stray electricity that would cause those problems. Just like a wireless signal may pass through objects without much interruption, this should be able to as well. The electrical transfer shouldn't have to be very large, since it will, presumably, be charging most of the time.

  • @Lotus2200 its to do with how power works, radiowaves for example are not very powerful, you could probably get hundreds of feet of wire, and pick up enough charge from all the radiowaves to light one LED. radio station transmitters use huge amounts of power just to do that. there is a big difference between a signal and actual power. this could in theory be done, for example you have a coil in the device and a coil under the device and it would work simillarly to a transformer without the core

  • @Lotus2200 but the kind of power needed to run something like a motor for example is just not transmitable. Tesla invented the Tesla coil which generates man made lightning effectively, that is power being transmitted but only by passing a bolt of lightning between two large metal objects, not safe or practical for anything really. in short, this technology can work, but not for powering cars, or charging your phone while its in your pocket. a perfect use for this would be a wireless mouse

  • took us long enough to accept and market this tech?

  • its 2 systems inductive coupling and chips communicating how much work to do to charge

  • 3:13 = fail

    "please do not touch"

    learn to read..

  • an invention that has been around since the start of electricity. Just now coming out to the public

  • simple 1:1 ratio transformer would do it... same thing... why are people stupid enough to think this is pwnsome when its an old invention

  • first it doesn't know the power, i'm about 99% sure that every device up there has aa 5v regulator built-in, the coil is just connected to charging pins

    second the table looks like it turn on via reed switch, as you can see the bluetooth headset moves because if magnet on bottom simple circuitry.

    I made an improved one and i'm about to get a patent on it.

  • thus the powermat came to be :o

  • yeah so what tesla come up with this hundreds of years ago

  • Comment removed

  • @dodgedart74 he died in 1940

  • @randyrox69 totally agree, tesla saw the future before all of us mortals... :)

  • @randyrox69 (1856 – 1943)

  • @randyrox69 Cool. These guys made it. Da Vinci also came up with tanks, helicopters, and other crazy shit. However, he didn't MAKE them. Design and implementation are two TERRIBLY different things. Think before you speak ignoramus.

  • powermat sucks

  • wow

    thats cool

  • If only you could charge anything without having to put it on anything, plug it in or anything, just go. But that's impossible without sending random bolts of electricity killing everybody (Including yourself) in it's path... xD Technology.

  • @RoastySmish

    you need read about nikola tesla XD

  • i have a palm pre, do they have a receiver for my phone by chance?

  • Yep, that's not wireless, and it's definitely much more bad than wires...

    Okay it's easy and confortable to use in transports etc but it's not wireless as the title say...

  • @SolalChabauty

    I cant see any cables? :P

  • so the basic concept is not wireless at all it needs to touch the surface...

  • LOL yea. dont know why people are buying this. i mean, after you come back home, your gonna have to put the case on.. take it off again and again and again and its a hassle. i would rather have the wires. more reliable

  • listen to what he says, each device was modified with a coil inside so your items won't work just like that.

    Also it doesn't recognize the device it just give out a 5v to 5v+. Every device on the table use a 5v charger. Motorola, digital camera, and cell phone use 5v. Mice use 3v-5V a resistor can bring it down to 3v.

    He obviliously is not the designer or team member, just a reviwer that was told what he knows instead of research.

    I made on for less than $50.

    Upload soon.

  • if oni it was portable.. and high powered i could charge my laptop , PSP , etc...

  • amazing D:

  • it'd be great to have this on every surface in your home so where ever you may throw a device it'll charge anyway then maybe a HUD by a thermastat so if you can't find you phone just check that an you'll see your phone is charged on a bedroom night stand or your laptop is ready to go on your desk lots of capabilities here

  • even in cars!!!

    wow!!!

  • A new generation of charging!!!!! never lost charger again! lol

  • that power mat one is stupid. u have to connect that chip to all ur devices and than put it on to the mat for it to charge thats pretty much the same amount of work as pluging in a wire to your device to charge.

    i like the first ideas better, where you simply just put your device over a charge station and it automatically charges without any extra parts connected to your mobile devices.

    it's much more convenient .

    that wireless in car charger is nice too. i would like one

  • problem with is a battery only has a certain amount of a charging cycle. You still have to get you device modified and then have only a surface touch charge.

    The power mat and this table both have a specific spot. Turn on by magnet as you can see pulls the bluetooth headset to the center of the mat.

  • man i came up wit this idea so many years ago!!!!!!!

  • we've thought of it, but did you try to atempt it? thats the problem no body puts there ideas out there

  • @jlc31489 You didnt come up with anything. Just because you thought "I dont like having to plug in power cables" doesnt mean you thought of anything. Thats like me claiming "I THOUGHT OF FLYING CARS YEARS AGO!!" and "I THOUGHT OF FOOD CLONING YEARS AGO!!" .. Unless you actually demonstrate your concept and come up with a prototype you haven't done anything at all. I guarantee if you were to crack open a basic electronics theory book, you'd be saying "fuck it" in less then five minutes.

  • dam thats tight aahah i want that

  • I would live the idea of not having to put tips or cases inorder to use the power matt. Hopefully in the future they can solve that at a reasonable price.

  • it's cool but it's not Wireless Charging

  • I don't see wires.....lol

  • Tesla would be happy to see this.

  • @Groovnstar DeForest would be proud......of stealing.

  • It's not a wireless charger. It's a Magnetic Charger.

  • @tnguyen318 still is wireless

  • Solar´s motion, too, only on a lower scale. Therefore finer technology than today used

    would be necessary. That´s why I said more efficient and not those which are used today.

    Ok, let´s use "motion". I know they did it with clocks or you know these lights and radios which get charged by rotation. It would have to charge itself without caring about the motion (even if you pick it up to make a call or if you wear it in your bag and it gets moved).

  • Why not integrating more efficient solar energy panels into the devices?

  • because solar power isn't effektive, ofcourse...

    It would give more sense to integrate converters from motion to energi. Shake your phone and give it 5 minutes more standby time. Or run with it and charge it as well..

    Motion can charge and store energi way more efficient than solar.

  • no doubt it's cool .. but its not wireless ... cuz if its wireless then it should start charging the device kept anywhere when the battery is low ( like 5% remaining ). wireless here means " no use of cable " but u have to place/stick it exactly on the powermat..

  • it's a really cool device but it's not wireless.

    if they embed this techonology into a table or computer desk then wireless charging have some use. but then they be charging you $1000 for a desk. when it should be $100 computer desk.

    it's the same with auto maker. just look at how much auto maker are selling bluetooth built in. RIDICULOUS

  • Just fucking buy a surge protector thing with like 10 outlets...for like 10$

  • this is amazing technology i wouldnt mind spending $100 on this no longer will i have to plug my charger into the wall awesome

  • its not electronic power. its magnetic induction. not electricity going through the desk. its green technology

  • inductive coupling is such a cool technology.

  • ...this is how fires are started..

  • It's cool and nice not to have all those wires everywhere, but i agree, it is very risky to have power going through you're desk.... In a few years they would come with a solousion to the problem, i hope so xD...

  • its magnetic it dosent make eny heat the only heat will be on the battery that gets warm no matter how yo charge it

  • You are my friend for saying that.he said 4 seconds to fully charge it.what happens if he forgets it.

  • yea! plus, only a person with no life would pay 100 dollars for this... (it was on this weeks best buy magazine) ...

  • Comment removed

  • this tech is also 75 years old....

  • This is pretty cool.. Noobs should be quite..

  • Quite what?

    ...Spelling noob.

  • Hello?This shit makes very big electronic fields!Horrible!I Even if it would be a give away,i didnt want that crap

  • Don't put ur hand on the device while it's charging you'll prrrollllyy get tumors

  • thats fing crazy

  • My electric toothbrush charges wirelessly :D

  • holy shit thats awesome...i didnt know that existed

  • I HATE IT!

  • iphone! iphone only!!

  • this would be cool if it's long range=)

  • IV seen a better way of doing this and you can take it any where you want all you need is every day normal battery and a spec lil chager you can buy from GO-LO,or big W target or any store like them and there cheap as and they work very well i have one for every thing it has diff leads as well. in other word its better then this cancer craving metal magnet

  • I've got the same camera :D

    This is a nice charger.

  • no wonder she dummped you cuming up with shit like that

  • This a great idea but its also an advertisement to sell you something...as not everyone is smart enough to fabricate an inductive power source...ignorance is bliss my prayers go out all who are ignorant...have a nice day

  • read a book to gain knowledge...dont be stupid and make yourself proud....

  • i didnt think it was possible to send power wirelessly

  • Its been around for almost as long as electricity itself. Research Teslas experiments and he did this.

    The way this works is pretty much the same way a transformer works.

  • Umm, yes it is. Read more about Tesla and how he exactly wanted power transmission to be done wirelessly GLOBALLY! Wrap your head around that and see for yourself how this name was suppressed in the history books to keep the profitability of oil..

    It might sound like a conspiracy but it's not. In fact a simple read at wiki will confirm what I'm saying..

  • Tesla's global power transmission would have been impractical. Still an incredibly creative idea though. Note the use of the word, "Idea."

  • Why the hell would it have been impractical? It would've saved us from all the environmental pollution and wars if Tesla's ideas had its way. While this vid only showed wireless transmission a few centimeters away, Tesla's experiments showed wireless transmission in over 25-30 miles! In fact, in one of his patents, he mentioned wireless transmission in a global scale. Think about it, only one power plant in the world and the rest would be powered by antennas worldwide..

    Too bad he was shunned..

  • For a good read, look up "wireless energy transfer" on wikipedia. But besides that... The transmission of electricity through the atmosphere vice high voltage transmission lines wouldn't eliminate environmental pollution in the slightest. If anything, it'd probably make it worse because of a decrease in overall transmission efficiency. Additionally, it'd eliminate accountability of power usage.

  • I'm not talking about wireless transmission through the air, I'm talking about wireless transmission through the ground. Again, read more about Tesla's work, Wardenclyffe tower, the Colorado Springs research and his patents of wireless transmission in the patent office. From there, you'll see that his inventions doesn't even need to have many power stations. Even Tesla postulated himself that there would be only one need for 1 power station and the rest of the world would be powered by..

  • ..different magnifying transmitters all throughout the Earth. The difference here of course is that power lines can be metered while wireless can't be metered (especially Tesla's set-up). Sorry to say but it's all about money dude. Now before you comment me further I want you to look at what I've typed above. If not then don't waste my time..

  • stupid shit like this has been around for hundreds of year but has been suppressed. they already have cell phone that runs on air why the fuck would i want chargers. that's why i don't even keep up tech trends.

  • Exactly, these things are just a far cry to the genius that is Tesla. If he had his way, the world would've been far better than now with our own flying cars and a far better and cleaner world.

    Too bad he was suppressed though..with all the shit he invented, I'm even surprised he isn't mentioned once in our history books save for his invention of AC generators..
