Charge All Your Devices at Once, Using Infrared Light Weekly Tech. 4

Charging As Many Device At Once?! 

The company Wi-Charge envisions having transmitters installed in the future in light fixtures and smoke detectors that beam infrared light to automatically top up devices within a room. Wi-Charges system is capable of converting energy into infrared light, and beam it with a 500-foot area and capture it in a receiver or device, where it converts back to energy once again. If a device maker does not integrate the infrared receiver directly into any device, then the device can easily be charged with a certain case or other dongle. Infrared is an invisible beam of light, and the company wishes to use a method where the beams of lights precisely goes to the receiver using a laser diode in the transmitter and a photo-voltaic cell in the receiver to reconvert the light energy to into electric energy. Although the Wi-Charges system does not arrive until 2016, it will roughly be about $50-100 dollars, and will not be used for all devices except small ones like tablets, laptops, and phones.
