1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080
magnetic induction or qi chargers let

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:09,200
you just plonk down your phone on a little pad to

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,519
get juiced up which is really cool way better than wires

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,720
but they only work over very short distances

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,359
and they need to be correctly aligned for optimal efficiency

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,039
well what if i told you that there's a better way

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:31,039
what if i told you that this speaker right here

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,640
and these trains going around me are all

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,800
being powered by that space-agey looking light fixture

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,920
up there that there is the prototype of why

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:47,040
charge's long-range wireless power delivery system

12
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:52,700
and holy is this thing ever cool

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:02,239
cablemod's configurator service makes it easy to customize and order cables for

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,240
your rig and customers in europe now have their own configurator where

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,799
cablemod handles all duties import taxes and documentation check it out at the

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:15,360
link below so this right here is the transmitter and although i guess

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,799
technically it could work if we just plugged it in while i'm holding it i

18
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:25,520
definitely get tired of hauling it around and also this is the only

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:28,320
prototype in existence that can deliver

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,960
the amount of power that we are going to need today so if i dropped it

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,720
that would be pretty tragic i wouldn't do that

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,880
deploying the transmitter is surprisingly simple if you have a drop

23
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:45,119
ceiling so this prototype is actually held in place by these magnets

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,360
and zip ties this is for quick and easy testing but

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,759
production models should have more permanent fixtures

26
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:01,840
once it's secured all we need to do is plug it into a regular dc power source

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,479
okay so this light right here is just

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,440
a regular light and then this one around the rim is more of a status indicator so

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,400
while it's booting up it blinks blue and then once it's green it means that it's

30
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,200
actually good to go the really cool tech though is actually

31
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:26,239
this black bit in the middle which is an infrared window behind which is an ir

32
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:29,920
transmitter and then this right here is

33
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,560
also an infrared window and behind that

34
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:39,360
is a receiver so if i just put this let's say for example right

35
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:42,560
here and it does need line of sight

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560
give it a second

37
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:53,280
so if i just take this phone and place it

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,760
let's say right here on my ladder and boom

39
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,319
it's charging and if you look up here the status

40
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:08,879
indicator changes to solid blue but how is it doing that

41
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,239
from up top the transmitter is actually

42
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,840
projecting some very high energy

43
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,640
infrared light and the receiver is basically like a

44
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,080
solar panel so there's a special photovoltaic cell in here that is tuned

45
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,959
to the infrared beam that the transmitter is outputting and now i know

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,760
what you guys are thinking i was thinking the same thing

47
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,319
is this entire room being blasted with

48
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,720
infrared radiation right about now am i going to turn into like a mutant more

49
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,360
importantly will my tv remote stop working

50
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,799
the answer is no not at all so the

51
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,360
receiver has a very specific signature

52
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:56,640
that the transmitter looks for and when it sees it it shoots out a very

53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,640
thin ir beam basically like a laser directly at the

54
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,760
receiver which is pretty cool

55
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,319
but what makes it loads better is the transmitter's ability to track a moving

56
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,680
receiver so i thought that this demo was smoke and

57
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:20,880
mirrors when i first saw it back at computex last year

58
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,560
but these trains right here can be fully

59
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,600
powered by the transmitter up in the ceiling giving you some idea of how

60
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,199
quickly your phone or your other device could be

61
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,800
moving around the room and still be powered and or charging and to prove

62
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:40,880
that the trains have no batteries the instant the beam is broken

63
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,800
the trains stop once line of sight has been restored it

64
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:49,440
just takes a second or two and then power transmission will resume this

65
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:54,080
means that there's no way for a person or like your eyes or something to be

66
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,720
exposed to the high energy beam and the fda and other international safety

67
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:04,000
regulators have already given it the seal of approval

68
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:04,000
plus you get to feel like a magician

69
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:14,800
okay so what you're probably wondering now though is how much power

70
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,759
can it actually deliver well why charge brought two different

71
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,240
models here there's this smaller one that's aimed more at like internet of

72
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,280
things applications this can deliver about one watt while having a smaller

73
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,000
footprint making it a little more subtle then there's the larger one that we put

74
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:37,440
on the ceiling that can do up to three watts

75
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,800
so this is one of their receivers hooked up to a speaker

76
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,680
not bad

77
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,840
but if we try to go too high

78
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:01,520
it tanks out a little bit now let's hook up a larger receiver that

79
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:07,840
they've got here this one does one and a half watts

80
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,840
and see how much louder we can go

81
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,400
not bad that's too shy of max volume

82
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,600
but i mean if we're being entirely honest

83
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:31,759
here that's still not a whole ton of power and like if i wanted to charge my

84
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,080
phone or heaven forbid a tablet

85
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:40,000
a what and a half isn't a ton and putting a case like this on it is

86
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,280
probably not that practical

87
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,360
fortunately this guy is more of a proof of concept

88
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:52,800
and why charges first commercial product makes a lot more sense

89
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:58,000
so this guy right here is a qi charger with regular usb on the underside that

90
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,400
can be placed anywhere in the room and still receive power so for something

91
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:07,759
like a coffee shop they could offer charging at their

92
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,599
tables without running cords to every

93
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:13,199
single one of them and that way if someone wants to

94
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,720
relocate the table to sit with their friends it's totally not a big deal they

95
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,960
would just kind of go like that and bippity boppity wham it is wirelessly

96
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,759
charging what makes it really well integrated is

97
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,720
the fact that it sits actually in the table like this like obviously we're not

98
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,000
going to drill a big hole in our table in order to do that right now and the

99
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,800
fact that it has a battery inside it so

100
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,479
that acts as a buffer so that battery can trickle charge all day and all night

101
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:49,039
and then when someone plugs in or puts their phone down on the pad it'll be

102
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:54,560
able to charge at more than just you know three quarters of a watt and it

103
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:58,800
won't matter if somebody you know is in the middle of a really really you know

104
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:03,599
fascinating conversation and blocks the beam for a little while

105
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,000
and this is just the beginning i'm really excited to see where this

106
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,199
tech is going i mean just how much power will they be able to get out of these

107
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,840
systems in the future could receivers just be built right into

108
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,680
your phone or tablet and a little with a little you know window right there i

109
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,400
mean that would allow your device to trickle charge all day long if you're in

110
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,599
range of a transmitter maybe this will finally be the solution

111
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:34,080
to what has been the biggest problem with smartphones

112
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:39,279
those pesky headphone jacks no not those battery life

113
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:44,000
thermaltake's vue 37 mid tower case features an enlarged transparent gull

114
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:48,880
wing window panel design and remarkable expansion with support for up to eatx

115
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:53,040
motherboards and multiple drive bays it's got a fully modular design it

116
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:59,360
supports vertical and horizontal radiator placement and it comes with two

117
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,519
pre-installed ring 14 led fans or you

118
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,040
can actually get the full RGB variant check it out today at the link below to

learn more so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you clearly hate

120
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,920
technology and you're on the wrong channel but if you liked it hit the like

121
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,000
button get subscribed or check out the link to where to buy the stuff we featured in the video description just

122
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,600
kidding it's still prototypes you can't buy it yet but at some point you will

123
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,360
also linked in the description is our merge store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which

124
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,920
you should totally join that this speaker right here

125
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,800
and these trains running around me bloody
