eCoupled Wireless Power-Mid-Range Inductive Power

[belgiumboy3]

In the future this will be in all houses build in the walls, and for extra range a bridging station.

But now we're hooked up with wires

[KnightChatX]

Who do I contact for a design improvement suggestion to make it completely wireless?

[CaptCamping]

Tesla will return from the grave and claim all the inventions back!

[felipegc]

What's the power consumption of this system?

It's certainly nice to have wireless power, but not so much if it requieres more energy than a regular wired source...

[fultoninnovation]

@felipegc You can find white papers on ecoupled.com that will answer those questions - unfortunately I can't give the link here thanks to YouTube.

Thanks for your interest!

[superpatett]

Unfortunatelly, you are right.

[schwanne]

1/r^2 (inverse square) takes over after 1 diameter. Until that point, you have a 1/r (inverse) relationship.

[EarlDGRT]

Increase the output (=energy) efficiency not reduce it!

[mathewrtaylor]

This is amazing! As has been mentioned, personal induction charging would be a residential use, as would a "personal charger" built into your driveway/garage for hybrids/electric or battery charger for everyday cars. In colder climates, it could be the power for the block heater without actually having to plug this in. Very exciting, and if you ever need residential product testing, please reach out, as I would be more than happy to test this!! Keep up the great work!

[WonderboyST]

Didn't Tesla demonstrate this a long time ago? Also, when we are becoming more and more pressed for cheap energy, why would a technology that wastes power at the novelty of wireless transmission be desirable? 120W in - 60W dummy - 48W wireless loss = 12W lamp out? No?

[dragoonthelad]

@WonderboyST - they've already come up with a couple of great uses. Wireless controller charging is one of those, where the waste isn't a great deal. You set your controller on a pad and it charges. Similar uses could be produced, in particular, I'd love to have a laptop with an inductive charge capability.

[fultoninnovation]

@WonderboyST You can read the technical efficiency information on our site and you may find our white papers interesting as well. ecoupled.com is where to go!

Thanks for your inquiry WonderboyST.

[AlecEmpire]

I suggest the Inventors should spend a few hours everyday with their heads between the coils to make sure there is no side effects to this technology!

[Prestonboy13]

basically all technology uses metal, so how are they going to make this work

[caxopinha]

Basic Electromagnetism.

Why he said that most systems can reach only his diameter? inverse square distance is part of the equation.

Imagine how much energy gets lost just to power up 1 single lamp.

It sure is a great technology, and applications are almost infinite, but it will never reach the wired system efficiency.

[CapitanoGUC]

charging electric vehicles without plugging them in would be an use ----

[WonderboyST]

@CapitanoGUC I could charge my car 5X with the same amount of energy used though if I plugged it in.

[MuslimGhost]

This is never going to take off, the inverse square laws will pwn you. For the amount of energy invested in generating wireless eelectricity, you could have powered way more wired devices.

[saintlobak]

This is brilliant for contemporary technology, but I can almost hear Nikola Tesla shouting "Noobs!"

[jakoball]

HA!

You got that right mate!

[CaptCamping]

@saintlobak LOL, thats true

[werido55]

free power would be great

[WindOF80x]

Enjoy your f*ckin CANCER!

[golddimas]

До Николы вам еще далеко!!!

[asasin008]

an easy to execute application for this would perhaps be a automotive install, were you allready have defined locations where you place your cellphone etc. i imagine this would gain market acceptance and be low cost due to compact installation. but im just making an educated stab at it. dont you hate plugging stuff in when your driving??

[asasin008]

and for all the scare tactics people, try to understand how these technologies actually work - dont just be ignorant fools. then the rest of us might respect your opinions. if you really wanna keep yourself up at night consider the fact that your tv's, your radios, all your wireless devices including blu tooth and wi fi and cellular network all work by utilization of the electromagnetic spectrum. you are constantly exposed to them already.

[asasin008]

most "current" technology was invented along time ago, but the big oil companies have big lobby potential which killed the electric car ev-1 in california for example, and for some reason manufactures of electronics insist we dont leap frog shit technologies straight to the good ones which they replace. i guess it makes us buy the same essential product twice, bastards haha.

[vanglo100]

I'm confused didnt, the genius scientist, Tesla already make usable wireless power a long time ago? This is like saying the chevy volt will be the first usable electric car when the EV-1 was out way before it.

[waverly24]

But the government ignored Tesla for Thomas Edison, which is why we have utility companies today. Can you imagine every home in America and around the globe powered by wireless (read free) energy? This is what Tesla wanted, but the word "free" stuck in a lot of peoples craws.

[vanglo100]

@waverly24 Free is a bad word to the corporations that run the government. Its a shame we lost our government so long ago to these corporations. What happened to "for the people by the people"?

[takenxtx]

I think this is a very cool and innovative idea but like most I'm slightly worried by the possible side effects.

[wildone106]

@takenxtx Possible side effects of innovation? Yea lets leave it to the chinese to figure out and beat us to it

[iluvimports]

wow. This could be potentially a revolutionary discovery

[wildone106]

@iluvimports Uh its not new, about time this stuff was brought to the masses though

[badsectorz]

Is that long term effect to human?

[dzeruel]

@badsectorz who cares money talks!

[ChaseA17]

Amazing. I cannot wait to see what they do with this innovation.
