Disney’s aluminum room charges your phone, no wires required
Feb20
Researchers have created a way for you to charge your phone wirelessly just by standing in a room. In a paper published to scientific journal PLOS ONE titled “Quasistatic Cavity Resonance for Ubiquitous Wireless Power Transfer,” three authors detail their process. Disney Research, who funded the project, also made a video showing the room and describing the research in layman’s terms. The electromagnetic signal charges compatible devices by radiating from a copper pole at the center of the room. Aluminum walls keep the (up to) 1900 watts of energy safely inside. Researchers then measured how much energy they could pump…
