The world of wireless charging, coming soon to reality.Ā

I guess the most natural way to charge your phone would be to prescribe it some bedrest.
Ikea is adding wireless charging to its furniture, with a new line of lamps, bedside tables, and desks. It will useĀ technology to charge a phone simply by placing it onto a table right now. Many smartphones todayĀ have this tech built in. Itās the dream of both consumers and interior designers, eliminating the tangle of cords that we navigate daily.

Simplified: How does wireless charging work?
What is this tech wizardry that charges your smartphoneās battery as if from thin air? Actually, itās nothing really fancy, and by saying that weāre in no way trying to detract from the achievement that it is. That said, itās worth noting that many credit the bizarre and eccentric scientist from Serbian descent, Nikola Tesla, with laying the groundwork for wireless charging all the way back at the turn of the 20th century.
Tesla actually filed a patent that described a device that he believed could transmit electricity from one conductor to another with no wiring whatsoever, and though his work never actually bore practical fruits, his idea evidently stuck. Fast-forward to today, and we have a number of āalliancesā rallying up behind different wireless charging standards, the most popular of which is the Qi standard. Despite the hardware incompatibility between those, they all rely on what is basically the same thing: inductive charging using an electromagnetic field to transfer electrical power between a ācharging stationā (a pad ) and a compatible smartphone (or an accessory, like a case). More specifically, once the āstationā is connected to the grid, a little coil within it (the transmitter) passes on an alternating current onto a coil in your smartphone (a receiver), generating a magnetic field. This induces voltage into the receiver coil, which, in turn, charges up your phoneās battery. This is what is called āinductive couplingā.
Unfortunately, there are some limitations of note with the technology, at least at this time. We mentioned the existence of several incompatible standards, of course, but you need to also consider a few other things. For starters, the āwirelessā part is not technically true, as the charging pad still needs to be connected to the grid with a wire. Moreover, the argument over whether wireless charging can be as efficient (and fast) as wired charging does not seem to be completely settled just yet, though the folks behind the Qi standard seem to think that, under what are likely advantageous circumstances, wireless charging could be just as fast and efficient.
On the positive side, the Qi team claims that it has developed a system that will consume just 0.0001 Watts in standby (when nothing is being charged, but its being plugged to the grid), while the typical wall charger is said to consume about as much power when in standby, as when in use. Apart from the āgreenā appeal of the tech, wireless charging is inherently compelling for those of us lucky enough to own a smartphone, since battery life is often less than satisfying. More out-of-the-box ideas picture a world where our entire desks, even entire building floors, have millions of those inductive coils transmitting energy throughout the entire surface, allowing you to basically charge your device wherever it is. If the technology does get cheap enough, itās not entirely out of the realm of possibility that a time might come, when our devices will be continuously charged throughout the day, pretty much wherever we are.
