The Future of Batteries

The introduction of the PowerMat that charges devices without plugging in any cords has advanced the future possibilities in charging electronic devices. Below are some of the developed battery and energy technologies currently being worked on.

130 Twirls

The Twirl battery concept, designed by Song Teaho and Hyejin Lee, allows for 130 twirls of the phone battery for another two minutes of talk time. Using the same technology as crank batteries, this type of technology would be perfect for a lot of other applications outside of cell phones or cameras.


Charge your Phone or Camera from your Wireless Internet connection

Being able to plug your phone into the Airnergy WiFi Harvesting Charger would allow you to charge your phone or camera without pluging the device into the wall.

After precharging the Airnergy with "WiFi power," the device was able to power a Blackberry from 30% power to 100% power in 90 minutes, illustrating a clear future in wireless power applications
