Turn Wifi into Electricity

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The entrepreneurs over at RCA have come up with a trendy new device that allows you to charge your cell phone pulling power out of thin air.

This upcoming year may hold realistic wireless power options. Technology has come a long way from the original idea of wireless power which was the tesla coil. The wireless T.V. that we saw recently is the first of many such inventions. We are now seeing a phone charger that harnesses the power of wifi. Now I live in a fairly large city where everybody and their mother has wifi. For me that is free energy, I love the idea of collecting a charge while I am walking around.

The product is called “airenergy” and the technology is beyond me. The short of it is that it converts wifi signals into D.C. power then it sends it into a energy storing device. The next step is to instead of it being a charger that plugs into  your phone is to make it a charger that you plug your battery into. Owning one of those batteries and a charger to me seems like the best thing ever. Your cellphone could run exclusively on wifi signals. For me I would purchase two of the batteries so that I could leave the charger charging a battery in my laptop bag letting it soak up wifi every time I am near a hotspot, then when my phone dies I just swap out the batteries. The batteries will cost about the same as an average battery for that phone, and the charger itself only costs 30 dollars. I am extremely excited about this.

There is also the idea that companies have gathered and decided on a universal wireless power source called Qi. The prospect is a little frightening to me and extremely exciting. 2010 may be the year of wireless.

Twitter blew up in 2009. Everyone and their grandma was tweeting about what they were doing and maxing the little sites bandwidth capacity. This year stay ahead of the curb and check out these little web 2.0 sites before they are featured on CNN and are havens for online jerks.
