00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.080
magnetic induction or qi chargers let

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.200
you just plonk down your phone on a little pad to

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.519
get juiced up which is really cool way better than wires

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:16.720
but they only work over very short distances

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.359
and they need to be correctly aligned for optimal efficiency

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.039
well what if i told you that there's a better way

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.039
what if i told you that this speaker right here

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:32.640
and these trains going around me are all

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.800
being powered by that space-agey looking light fixture

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.920
up there that there is the prototype of why

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:47.040
charge's long-range wireless power delivery system

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:52.700
and holy is this thing ever cool

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:02.239
cablemod's configurator service makes it easy to customize and order cables for

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.240
your rig and customers in europe now have their own configurator where

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.799
cablemod handles all duties import taxes and documentation check it out at the

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:15.360
link below so this right here is the transmitter and although i guess

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.799
technically it could work if we just plugged it in while i'm holding it i

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:25.520
definitely get tired of hauling it around and also this is the only

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.320
prototype in existence that can deliver

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:32.960
the amount of power that we are going to need today so if i dropped it

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.720
that would be pretty tragic i wouldn't do that

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:40.880
deploying the transmitter is surprisingly simple if you have a drop

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.119
ceiling so this prototype is actually held in place by these magnets

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.360
and zip ties this is for quick and easy testing but

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.759
production models should have more permanent fixtures

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

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:04.479
okay so this light right here is just

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

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

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:19.200
actually good to go the really cool tech though is actually

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:26.239
this black bit in the middle which is an infrared window behind which is an ir

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:29.920
transmitter and then this right here is

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.560
also an infrared window and behind that

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:39.360
is a receiver so if i just put this let's say for example right

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:42.560
here and it does need line of sight

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.560
give it a second

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.280
so if i just take this phone and place it

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.760
let's say right here on my ladder and boom

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:02.319
it's charging and if you look up here the status

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:08.879
indicator changes to solid blue but how is it doing that

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:12.239
from up top the transmitter is actually

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.840
projecting some very high energy

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:18.640
infrared light and the receiver is basically like a

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:24.080
solar panel so there's a special photovoltaic cell in here that is tuned

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:28.959
to the infrared beam that the transmitter is outputting and now i know

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.760
what you guys are thinking i was thinking the same thing

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:36.319
is this entire room being blasted with

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.720
infrared radiation right about now am i going to turn into like a mutant more

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:45.360
importantly will my tv remote stop working

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:48.799
the answer is no not at all so the

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.360
receiver has a very specific signature

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:56.640
that the transmitter looks for and when it sees it it shoots out a very

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.640
thin ir beam basically like a laser directly at the

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.760
receiver which is pretty cool

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.319
but what makes it loads better is the transmitter's ability to track a moving

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.680
receiver so i thought that this demo was smoke and

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:20.880
mirrors when i first saw it back at computex last year

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.560
but these trains right here can be fully

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:27.600
powered by the transmitter up in the ceiling giving you some idea of how

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.199
quickly your phone or your other device could be

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:36.800
moving around the room and still be powered and or charging and to prove

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:40.880
that the trains have no batteries the instant the beam is broken

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.800
the trains stop once line of sight has been restored it

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:49.440
just takes a second or two and then power transmission will resume this

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

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.720
exposed to the high energy beam and the fda and other international safety

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:04.000
regulators have already given it the seal of approval

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:04.000
plus you get to feel like a magician

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:14.800
okay so what you're probably wondering now though is how much power

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:19.759
can it actually deliver well why charge brought two different

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:24.240
models here there's this smaller one that's aimed more at like internet of

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:29.280
things applications this can deliver about one watt while having a smaller

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:34.000
footprint making it a little more subtle then there's the larger one that we put

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.440
on the ceiling that can do up to three watts

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.800
so this is one of their receivers hooked up to a speaker

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.680
not bad

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:53.840
but if we try to go too high

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:01.520
it tanks out a little bit now let's hook up a larger receiver that

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:07.840
they've got here this one does one and a half watts

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:07.840
and see how much louder we can go

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.400
not bad that's too shy of max volume

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:25.600
but i mean if we're being entirely honest

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

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.080
phone or heaven forbid a tablet

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

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.280
probably not that practical

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:47.360
fortunately this guy is more of a proof of concept

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:52.800
and why charges first commercial product makes a lot more sense

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:58.000
so this guy right here is a qi charger with regular usb on the underside that

00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:02.400
can be placed anywhere in the room and still receive power so for something

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:07.759
like a coffee shop they could offer charging at their

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.599
tables without running cords to every

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.199
single one of them and that way if someone wants to

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:18.720
relocate the table to sit with their friends it's totally not a big deal they

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:22.960
would just kind of go like that and bippity boppity wham it is wirelessly

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:27.759
charging what makes it really well integrated is

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.720
the fact that it sits actually in the table like this like obviously we're not

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

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:38.800
fact that it has a battery inside it so

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:44.479
that acts as a buffer so that battery can trickle charge all day and all night

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

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:54.560
able to charge at more than just you know three quarters of a watt and it

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

00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:03.599
fascinating conversation and blocks the beam for a little while

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:08.000
and this is just the beginning i'm really excited to see where this

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

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:15.840
systems in the future could receivers just be built right into

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:19.680
your phone or tablet and a little with a little you know window right there i

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.400
mean that would allow your device to trickle charge all day long if you're in

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:29.599
range of a transmitter maybe this will finally be the solution

00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:34.080
to what has been the biggest problem with smartphones

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:39.279
those pesky headphone jacks no not those battery life

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:44.000
thermaltake's vue 37 mid tower case features an enlarged transparent gull

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.880
wing window panel design and remarkable expansion with support for up to eatx

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:53.040
motherboards and multiple drive bays it's got a fully modular design it

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:59.360
