Apple patents «PowerPort Extreme» for wireless power devices

Who says that the mats for recharging - that's cool and modern, very wrong. All these bells and whistles - sophomoric compared with what Apple described in its fresh application for a patent. Perhaps, very soon every "Yabloko" on the experience learned what truly wireless charging.

Wirelessly transmitting electricity scientists engaged in since the beginning of the XIX century. The most "promoted" among ordinary people has become the name of Nikola Tesla, who first tried to introduce the masses "wireless electricity" by building on Long Island Vordenklif tower. However, the scientist plans crumbled, but over the next nearly 100 years of physics are well advanced in this area. We have become accustomed to the RFID-tags and contactless smart cards. And now also it becomes possible to create a very compact device that would feed the different electrical appliances in the same way as the Wi-Fi-router provides wireless communication at a distance push.

That is, such a device is described in the "apple" patent application. In the blog Patently Apple writes:

"Today, Apple has received a patent for an invention related to a system and method of wireless power transmission unit of the wireless power supply to any number of peripheral devices.

Generalized patent concerns a method and equipment needed to transfer devices useful amounts of energy by wireless through the wireless medium charging. One example of such a medium may serve a number of computing devices such as desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, tablets, and so on. D. In some cases, the wireless power supply can be used for continuous transmission electricity to various electronic devices such as the iPhone, which suggests the presence of a portable power source. "

That is, in other words, Apple believes the real not only give us the ability to charge their gadgets ah and MacBook literally in the air - which dropped the device, where it is being charged - but deliver us from the power cords generally! And all this by means of a compact device, which can be assumed to be commensurate with current routers Airport Extreme.

Apple has shown that such a home wireless power station as the target device is already available. The only question that nobody does not answer when this fantasy finally becomes reality: the date of issue of the «PowerPort Extreme» are not taken to predict even the most courageous sluhogeneratory. :(
