This seems futile. There is also the very minor matter of total power consumption versus the effective power usage. You know, something completely irrelevant in a world concerned with its environment.

Wireless power charging pads already consume much more power than they deliver to smartphones. A 10W wireless charger might require about 15W of power. That's 33% of efficiency lost for no good reason at an almost null distance. Those systems can only be worse. Is plugging a simple cable that hard that we consider wasting even more of our limited energy resources to be wise?

    This is true wireless charging

      why not a wireless charger that looks like a desk lamp enough for a single phone at 5w or less as long it can fully charge a phone in 8 hours or less?

        Looks promissing. If this evolves, you enter your home and your phone is immediatly charging your phone, you don´t have to do anything.

        motorola just needs to enable this on to their phones. Current 2021 there´s no phone compatible with QI charching

          Funny how a certain fruit company is pretending there's no wire attached to their "wireless charger with magnets" while other companies are working on a true wireless solution.

            Oh, so actually finally "Wireless" charging, not "wireless - T&Cs apply". That is perfect and suitable for so many situations. Would be nice if it was even 15w fast charge. But hey, baby steps. Way to go Motorola.

                Akashraj, 08 Sep 2021What if there was a gasoline leak in the house with this ch... moreNothing will happen.

                This is only transmitting large amount of Electro magnetic waves.

                Petrol will not conduct EM waves.

                  That's more like wireless charging. Let's be honest, the wireless charging we have know is useless

                    Wow really interesting tech

                      What if there was a gasoline leak in the house with this charger on 🤔?

                        i hope this tech not bad for health and enviroment its crazy to think an electric is flying and charging a phone!

                          They can also make huge money by licensing to other.
