Image - Wireless Charging Invention Uses RF Signals to Efficiently Transfer PowerWireless Charging Invention Uses RF Signals to Efficiently Transfer Power


INFRGY LLC introduces its practical wireless energy transfer technology, which enables charging of devices without direct contact. The system can power multiple devices in the vicinity, using benign radio frequency (RF). Components do not have to be within the line of sight of each other, unlike systems that use lasers, microwaves, or infrared light. The low-voltage system is safe and easy to maintain.


Nikola Tesla once envisioned a world where power could be transmitted wirelessly across long distances, a concept that was ahead of its time, but limited by the technology available. INFRGY's device realizes Tesla's vision with advanced RF transmission. Unlike traditional wireless charging pads, the system does not require precise placement.
