Dependence on Power Cables:
Touchscreen Mobile devices, Internet Browsing, Make Video Conference Calls, Play Animated Games, Determine Locations via GPS !!!!
Puzzled, But, But Still Why, with all the advances in technology and communications, would such a sophisticated device still need to be plugged in to be recharged?
If phone calls and web pages can be beamed through the air to portable devices, then why not electrical power, too?
Initial Explorer: Splashpower, A British company called SplashPower has come up with technology that can charge multiple devices at once by simply placing the gadgets on a mousepad-like surface. SplashPower has announced products called Multi SplashPad and Single SplashPad. The devices require a thin, inexpensive module inside the device for the charging to work.
Product Name: Splashpad
Principle/ Law Followed: The entire research is based on the “Principle of Electromagnetic Induction” that Faraday had discovered in the 19th century.
How it Works: Splashpad, contained a coil that which uses electromagnetic induction to charge the device wirelessly. When the device is placed on the pad, the two recognise each other through built-in sensors; the process was reversed as the magnetic field generated a current in the coil, charging the device’s battery without the use of wires.
