US technology firm Witricty has shown off a device which can be used to charge your mobile phone battery or indeed any other device’s battery wirelessly. The system uses the resonance of low frequency magnetic waves. A magnetic coil is set into the wall or ceiling or placed in a hidden box. This resonates at a specific frequency and transmits electromagnetic waves into the room. A second magnetic coil placed in any device resonates at the same frequency which charges the device. They showed the system in action using a google G1 phone which had the system fitted internally. They also showed it integrated with an iphone although due to apples design allowing no internal space the system was attached to the rear of the phone.
The company also showed off a television which was functioning without being plugged in. This technology means no more ugly hanging wires trailing from the many devices we have in our houses and offices.
