Motorola mulls eCoupled technique for wireless charging


Is it possible to transfer energy from one circuit component to another wirelessly? Well, yes, it’s possible via a shared magnetic field that suffices no need for power cords. eCoupled calls it ‘inductive coupling’. As per rep, Motorola seeks to gain entrée to the eCoupled know-how. It wishes to use the technique in wireless charging of cellphones. I think substituting battery capacity with a stand-in battery pack and an induction coil is far better an idea. What say? As of now, the project may take some time to become a reality. Nonetheless, it’s definitely worth the wait.
