And: How does the child safety cover work? Now my boy simply is to wave a fork in the general area to receive a dose of 110v?

Seriously, this could allow more flexibility in phone design if there is no need for plugs!]]>Dec 8th 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/
A fork, simply, would not recieve what the device is putting out. A real world example is the use of this technology in electric toothbrushes and shavers; these products are often exposed to water, and other conductive materials, yet you don't hear of problems.

On the other side though, there are electronics out there that wouldn't take too well to this, such as items containing transformers. Certainly this kind of product is designed with such saftey issues in mind, and is likely of a fairly low power output.]]>Dec 11th 2006 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/Dec 8th 2006 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/
I also believe this is similar to the technology that my toothbrush uses, no? No metal on the exterior of it whatsoever - I've been wondering how is charges through the plastic.]]>Dec 8th 2006 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/Dec 8th 2006 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/Dec 8th 2006 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/"The unique WildCharge technology does not interfere with the operation of electronic equipment, has no impact on reception quality, and emits no harmful radiation.

Our solution is also efficient - power is delivered as if the devices were plugged directly into the wall."

It charges via induction - not radiation or other means.]]>Dec 8th 2006 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/

Will be good when all devices support it unaltered.

This device makes sense to me because I have to charge about 5 devices on any given day (my phone, my wife's phone, DSlite or my PSP, wife's PSP and Cowon X5L MP3 player) Each one needs a dedicated socket and each one is spinning my power meter whether it's working or not.

Further down the road I could see this as being a great technology for recharging medical implants or recharging cars while they're parked. There just seems to be a lot that you could do with this. ]]>Jun 17th 2007 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/08/wildcharger-charges-your-gadgetry-sans-wires/Jul 12th 2007 7:47AM
