Oh dear what an overstated claim, a wall wart, which the charging surface will need is at best 75% efficient, and no claiming they are as low as 2-% efficient is also tosh, closer to 50% worst case.
So wall wart plus electronics to create primary drive, plus secondary coil, rectifier, regulator, and charge control = poor efficiency. Sorry Guys but the environmentally-unfriendly equilibrium is right here, worse efficiency, usinge even more planet resource on yet another charging non standard platform is bad. Yes it may look cool, but just think about what it is and what it took to produce.
Best way for this to work is through an agreement with other companies working on this technology, better still get into bed with Murata/Epson/Seiko, and quick...
