Fujitsu wireless charging pad to replace power cords
In an announcement made on Monday, Fujitsu Lab said the wireless charging pad uses magnetic resonance to remotely transfer power. A coil of wire and capacitor create the resonance between it and the power receiver.
Fujitsu Lab said its technology dramatically shortens the time required to design transmitters and receivers for magnetic resonance charging systems and enables accurate tuning of resonant conditions in the design phase, even for compact transmitters and receivers that are prone to influences from nearby metallic and magnetic objects, the company said, according to Cnet.com.
The design of the charging pad allows efficient transfer of power or up to 85 percent efficiency whatever the components, size and quantity of devices are involved.
Fujitsu Lab plans to present details of its technology on Tuesday at the 2010 conference of the Institute of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineers (IEICE) at Osaka Prefecture University in Japan.
