Splashpower universal wireless charging

Juniper Foo | Feb 01, 2005

Imagine recharging your phone, digital camera or any portable device simply by dropping these onto a mouse-like pad? No more wires, no more cables, no more adapters. The brains behind this vision-soon-to-turn reality are Splashpower founders Lily Cheng and James Hay, two Cambridge University engineering students who have devised a SplashPad charging base and SplashModule power receiver. The idea is to fit, say, a cell phone with the receiver module, and drop this onto the SplashPad. The latter generates an electromagnetic field which is picked up by a SplashModule. This then converts the field into usable power and pumps it into the depleted battery of your cell at whatever voltage is required. After three years in the petrie dish, fruition is finally at hand as Splashpower looks to rock and roll before year-end. Now all we need is one for notebooks, and life's perfect.
