Incredible Technology Promises to Transform Your Whole Body Into a Wireless Charger: User Just Needs to Charge One Device, and The Rest of The Devices Being Used Can Be Simultaneously Powered

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a technology that allows a single device, such as a mobile phone placed in a pocket, to wirelessly energize other wearable devices on a user’s body, using the human body as a medium for power transmission, effectively turning it into a wireless charger.

The new system allows a single energy source, which is fully charged, to power up to 10 wearable devices on the body for a duration of over 10 hours. It can also harvest unused energy from typical household or office electronics to power the wearables.

Technology Has The Potential To Eliminate The Need For Batteries

“Batteries are among the most expensive components in wearable devices, and they add bulk to the design. Our unique system has the potential to eliminate the need for batteries, thereby allowing manufacturers to miniaturize devices and significantly reduce production costs,” said Jerald Yoo, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NUS.

Technology Transforms The Body Into A Wireless Charger

The NUS team designed a receiver and transmitter system that uses the very obstacle to wireless powering—the human body—as a medium for energy transmission and harvesting. Each receiver and transmitter contains a chip, which serves as a springboard to extend coverage across the entire body.

A user just needs to place the transmitter on a single power source, such as the smartwatch on the user’s wrist, while multiple receivers can be placed anywhere on the person’s body. The system then harnesses the energy from the source to power several wearables on the user’s body through a process called body-coupled energy transmission.

In this way, the user only needs to charge one device, and the rest of the devices being used can be simultaneously powered from that single source.

I would love to hear what you think about the idea of turning your body into a walking wireless charger! Let us know in the comments section. Don’t forget to leave 5 stars and turn on CPG notifications to keep up with all the news in the tech world. See you next time!

Apenas não ficou claro como esta energia seria gerada. Movimento? Calor corporal? Até mais…
