Splashpower is an innovative little device which allows you to recharge all sorts of mobile gadgets without plugging them in.
ESATO NEWS
Splashpower Ltd, the world leaders in wireless power for portable devices, today announced 2 new products lines, the Multi SplashPad and the Single SplashPad.Demonstrating the scalability of Splashpower's patented Paraflux™ technology, this product range opens up the promise of wireless power to an ever greater range of applications. Splashpower has the only technology platform to deliver interoperable and universal wireless charging to the market, and is focussed on solving the power dilemma for the latest power-hungry mobile devices.
The following products will be shown to the public in a world premiere at the CEATEC consumer electronics show in Tokyo, Japan from 4-8 October, 2005.
Multi SplashPad: This flagship product lets users power multiple devices simultaneously simply by placing them on the pad surface. Mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players and digital cameras can all be powered without the need to plug in to a charger, and in no extra time.
Single SplashPad: This entry-level product will power one device at a time and is universal so will work with a range of different devices. It is slim, light and portable, and serves as a perfect entry point for OEMs who want to provide a complete solution right out of the box to consumers.
Receiver modules: Splashpower has developed receiver modules so that manufacturers can integrate wireless power capability directly into their mobile products.
Mobile Accessories: These add-on accessories enable existing mobile devices to be powered by a SplashPad. A range of accessories for popular devices such as NTT DoCoMo's FOMA 3G phones and the Apple iPod will be demonstrated at the show.
Already the company has signed a number of leading mobile phone and camera companies in early access agreements. Working with the manufacturers of these devices, Splashpower will remove the last wire in mobile devices - the power cord - enabling for the first time, truly wireless devices. www.splashpower.com

I've been wondering how long before something like this comes along... what I'd like to see is truely wireless power, kind of like 'wifi'. Just imagine how much easier it would be hoovering or mowing the lawn without a power cable in the way....

The concept for this had been around for a while now but i think finally we will see this in the market. Charging your phones and gadgets without wires....hopefully won't be too long before we see these bundled with phones instead of wired chargers.

but how do u send suffitiont volts and electrons through the air via a controlled source? how can someone harnels a 240v of power through the air with no arch and safely put it into a device with out electricuting the user?
i say this as im doing a A level in physics

It uses induction doesn't it? You get this type of charger already with some electric toothbrushes |

They should put things like that all over our planet so our phones will never drain the battery again. |

Yeah i remember this idea doing the rounds yonks ago. I never thought that we would ever see such a device. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a swift launch.

As RMJ says, induction - it only works at very close range. To broadcast with enough power to charge a mobile phone by induction over a distance of even several feet would probably produce an EMR field that will fry your brain far worse than any radio emmission from the phone itself!!
However, there is hope! Using broadcasting technology such as cell base stations use, where radio signals can be aimed to within a foot or so of the cell phone, it may be possible eventually to "broadcast" an induction field to within a few centimetres of the device being charged, preventing the human exposure to a high energy emr field.

Now that's an interesting idea: no more power wire to your phone.
But you have to place it on a surface which itself is wired.
And which takes far more space than a charger.
Bright idea indeed!
