Wireless charging is finally with us
A US outfit called WiTricity is releasing a product which it claims can wirelessly recharge electronic devices from up to several feet away. It is all a little bit Tesla-like.
According to Associated Press, it will mean that you don't even have to take your phone out of your pocket for it to magically recharge.
It also means that anything else you happen to be running on batteries can also be recharged, including that robotic vacuum cleaner which you have been thinking about buying. WiTricity is based in Massachusetts and its system involves a set of magnetic coils and electronics that turn wireless charging into a built-in function of smartphones and other devices.
