Wireless Charger For Mobile Devices
Tired of jumbling those cables and adapters? Well here’s the latest one for you…
A wireless charger for mobile devices is being developed by Visteon Corp., an auto parts manufacturer.
The base station on which a mobile gadget is placed to be rejuiced plugs into a car’s lighter socket and sits in a cup holder. They plan to sell this for around $60 by the end of the year.
While they are looking forward into further developments of building the necessary components directly into devices, a separate $30 adapter is needed for each gadget so it will work with the wireless charger at the moment.
The charger works because the base station produces a magnetic field that generates a current within the gadget’s adapter.
