For starters, there must be some "computer" of some sort to manage it all, and it should finish booting up.... --- End quote --- Yeah, I guess it could be booting Linux or something. You'd think there would be a status LED though. |

For those who may be interested, I gave an interview on my opinion of the at-distance wireless charging space. https://www.thewirelesssolution.co.uk/blogs/information/paul-reynolds --- Quote ---How long do you estimate it will take before we get true wireless charging for smartphones? If you are looking for multi-meter, as-fast-as-a-wire charging for smartphones then I expect you are going to be waiting a very long time, I simply do not see that happening. Directing energy is limited by the laws of physics, especially if you wish to do so safely and at a reasonable price. Physics makes it difficult and inefficient, but not impossible – however -most of the current methods under development, such as RF and acoustic, all have to eventually face regulatory limits that are there for safety that simply don’t allow enough power to be useful. --- End quote --- |

Pretty easy dumb stuff. --- End quote --- Or just LEDs wired directly to the individual transducers... Really easy dumb stuff... :) |
