UBeam company introduced the technology of wireless charging devices based on ultrasound Bashny.Net

Recently in the network has information about a very interesting development: wireless charging gadgets using ultrasound. Development represented by uBeam, and is to convert the electric charge in the ultrasound receiver that picks attached to any device. Then the inverter and the battery charging device.

While only ready early prototype of this type of charge, so it is difficult to judge the efficiency of the transfer. Nevertheless, the advantages of the new technology is - it is an opportunity to charge the device at more than in the case of using existing wireless reel, distance. Of course, over the wall ultrasound will not pass, but within the space charge will go without problems.

So you can imagine the cafe, offices and apartments, equipped with such charges. When you enter the room with the person adapted for ultrasound gadget immediately starts charging the battery, do not need any wires or different kinds of surfaces to put the device to the traditional method of wireless charging.

According to the head of the company, which has developed a new technology, a new type of charging stations will be small, their thickness does not exceed 5 mm. These transmitters can be placed on the walls, the ceiling, making them invisible to humans.

With this new technology can be used to charge the battery is not only a mobile device, tablet or smartphone, but the laptop. The receiver also expected to be miniaturized, so that in case of the same tablet or laptop no problem. Probably for smartphone developers will find a suitable option.

To market this technology, according to developers, will be released in about two years. At the same time there will be several options for charging ultrasonic devices: for small spaces, such as offices and rooms, and supermarkets, airports and other facilities, which are usually a huge number of visitors to the large number of devices.
