Splashpower: Charge Your Mobile Devices Without Wires.

Posted by Alex in Gadget on September 22, 2006 at 4:20 am


Charging cell phones is a hassle, so Splashpower has developed a new way to power up mobile devices – just put the splashpower-enabled device on the SplashPad:

The Splashpower solution is based around technology that uses inductive coupling as a means of power transfer – which means you don’t need any wires, connectors or contacts between the pad and the device.

Electromagnetic induction is a technology that is currently employed in a wide range of applications. Applications which currently use induction for power transfer include powering electric vehicles, recharging electric toothbrushes and powering smart-tags and security tags.

The Splashpower solution overcomes previously unresolved issues in the development of inductive technology to allow you to power or charge a selection of gadgets all at the same time. Just place any device that incorporates a SplashModule™ power receiver on the SplashPad and power up.

    At first I thought hoax, but it's real. The catch is your device has to be "splashpower enabled," meaning it has to have a receiver module built in.

    Not a bad idea, but it won't go anywhere unless some major manufacturers build in the module or copy the idea.

    Maybe this company has killed off an idea that should have been made public domain. How long till its patent expires!
