Portland, The share price of Energous has more than doubled this year, mainly due to the promise of a future in which the smartphones do not rely on sockets electric or database reload.
The Energous, with its headquarters in San Jose, California, is one of the few companies that are competing to launch technologies that will allow our phones, tablets and watches intelligent to be loaded even from the other side of the room — all at the same time and completely remote.
And 2017 may be the year that they finally will be able to enter the homes of consumers.
In the second half of next year, the technology Energous will be used in a transmitter capable of charging devices that are in a radius of approximately 90 cm to 1.5 meters by means of radio waves, according to CEO Steve Rizzone.
In 2018, the company expects to launch a transmitter that is similar that may be incorporated into devices, such as flat screen TVs, to charge devices at a distance of more than 4.5 metres, said Rizzone in an interview.
The company chose not to give details about how much energy an appliance Energous be able to issue nor the efficiency of the share.
Although the first technologies of remote loading are taking to become popular, the successful use of the call-recharge wireless 2.0 would help both the giants of the technology industry as the entrepreneurs to solve the problem of mobility — the devices will no longer depend on a long battery life to be useful.
This will also disrupt the market dominance of the technology Qi, which is incorporated into devices such as the Galaxy S7, Samsung, and requires that the unit be placed in a base to recharge physical.
according To the Grand View Research, the market for recharging wireless is expected to grow to US$ 22.5 billion by 2022, against$ 1.87 billion in 2014.
For the refill remote to become a reality, companies like Ossia, Humavox, and WiTricity will need to overcome obstacles relating to health and safety.
The Federal Communications Commission of the USA, who regulates the industry wireless, you still need to determine that recharging the remote the long distance is safe.
you will Also need to convince the manufacturers to adopt these technologies — ranging from waves of radio frequency ultrasonic and lasers.
The reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer with the distance, should also be considered.
The Ossia intends to launch receivers at the beginning of 2018, and the devices able to "capture" this energy will arrive in 2019, according to CEO Didier Le Lannic.
The company, which is challenging the patents of Energous, is expected to transmit a few milliwatts to 1 watt of power in a radius of up to 2.7 meters for charging mobile devices, and connected to the internet, such as sensors, he said.
The technology of WiTricity, which will be incorporated into a notebook that will be commercially available in early 2017, said CEO Alex Gruzen in an interview.
The company is working with car manufacturers to load cars at a distance of up to 35 inches — say, the floor of the garage until the battery of the car.
The first cars with this technology will reach the market at the end of 2017, he said.
"The wires are being eliminated in all places," said Gruzen. "I think that within five years there will be no more chargers with wire".
