Introduction
The technology of wireless energy transfer is the electrical energy transmission from a power source to an electrical pack. This process normally occurs without a conductive substantial connection. This is necessary whereby there is a lot of inconvenience caused by interconnection of cords and cables.
As it would be observed, there is a big difference between the traditional charging and wireless charging. Traditional charging mostly relies on energy or power, which is connected directly from a device to the source, through connectors such as power cords or cables. On the other hand, wireless charging utilizes magnetic or electromagnetic form of energy to transfer power to gadgets and devices.
When using the wireless technology, power efficiency becomes the most significant parameter while dealing with electrical appliances and equipments. The wireless transfer system entails the source of energy sending out more energy to the receivers. This makes the system more economical in terms of power usage compared to the conductive charging system.
Direct induction is the most common form of wireless control diffusion applicable presently, and is followed closely by resonate captivating induction. There is another form of wireless power transmission known as the electromagnetic radiation. This form of wireless transmission is normally in the form of microwaves also referred to as lasers (Firestone 123). This paper examines the possible future development of wireless charging and its current market.
Discussion
The application and constant development of mobile phone technology in the modern era is experiencing a boom, as innovators in the technology sector look forward to a future of introducing wireless charging technology for the gadgets in all parts of the world. This is likely to make the application of cell phones and other mobile devices much easier and more convenient, thus helping to shape the future of these technologies in the modern world.
With the progressive utilization and development of mobile gadgets or devices, the development and commercialization of wireless charging devices has also been on the rise in various parts of the world, to help maximize consumers’ convenience. The possibility of a wireless charging future for all mobile devices and gadgets is limitless, considering the great concern which has been directed on the issue recently (Zhi-yu 93).
As it would be observed, the wide range of wireless charging has grown from smartphones to other electric equipments such as vehicles and televisions. As a result, this has continued to influence active research and commitment from relevant companies, thus changing the way consumers power their mobile devices.
Wireless charging is rapidly replacing the traditional way of powering our mobile devices, thanks to the increasing developments in technology, which has completely changed our lives as humans. There is no doubt that, the world is almost about to break free from wires and cords, when it comes to recharging mobile devices to keep them active.
The practice of plugging charging cables in electric sockets every so often to recharge our gadgets could be a tiresome habit. Instead of having to rely on the old-fashioned conductive charging system to supply energy to various gadgets and devices, consumers can now recharge their mobile devices through various forms of inductive charging technologies, such as the Powermat, the Duracell MyGrid, and Energizer Qi.
There are many benefits which can be associated with wireless charging technology over the conventional way of supplying power or energy to our electrical devices. One outstanding benefit of this trend is that, consumers can charge their equipment without the bothersome habit of untangling cords and plugging them into electric sockets or power adapters.
More importantly, the system is much convenient compared to the conventional way in that, a single charging system can operate with different devices and gadgets whereby multiple devices can be charged simultaneously, since energy transmission is in the form of waves, rather than cords or cables (Sample and Meyer 549). This has the meaning that, people could travel with a single charging system for all their mobile devices.
This is multitasking of machines and equipment, which saves on time and enhances machine efficiency, which is normally the main purpose of machines. Today, various devices which utilize the wireless technology are the most preferred option for the consumers. They are attractive because of their user-friendly nature and the fewer risks associated while using them. They also give people an opportunity to save on costs and time, among other resources.
Wireless charging is increasingly becoming common in most parts of the world, and this has significantly increased the current markets of the trend. It is apparent that modern giant technology companies in the world have already adopted the trend, by supplying their products along with the revolutionary induction charging technologies (Deng-Peng 29). However, according to the findings of a recent market study conducted by iSuppli, major growth for wireless charging is expected in the near future.
An overall increase in the market of the trend has been projected to increase by 65 folds in the next couple of years. Moreover, it has been estimated that over 230 million devices and gadgets that can function in wireless charging system are likely to ship in by the next two years. In this regard, future markets for wireless charging technology would undergo a sharp increase, as gadgets and devices compatible to the approach continue to greet the markets.
The global markets for the wireless charging technology have shown impressive momentum of late. This is likely to take another positive turn, considering the unwavering efforts of the Wireless Power Consortium, which is actively working towards the development of a universal inductive charging standard.
Conclusion
The technology of wireless energy transfer for mobile devices has proved to be a convenient way of supplying power to the useful gadgets. Unlike the traditional form of contact charging, which utilizes cables and cords, the new system is completely wireless and hands free. This has automatically freed users from the burden of having to carry with them numerous charging devices for their mobile equipments, wherever they go.
Wireless technology is at the moment, part of our lives. The development has not only replaced several wires that are used in machines, but also it has the ability of replacing internal wires in various electronic devices. It implies few problems encountered while cleaning the surrounding and no fear of electric shock, which might be caused by naked wires.
The application of wireless charging system is in practice compatible with the modern technology which to a large extent focuses on the following; multitasking ability, portability and most importantly energy-saving ability (Klemens 45). This exceptional technology is rapidly taking shape in the modern world, and there is no doubt that it will soon be replacing the conductive system completely, thus bringing much convenience and simplicity to the users of mobile devices in the world.
As observed from this report, the market for wireless energy transfer system is expected to take another turn in the near future, as many people in the contemporary world become more familiarized with the technology. More importantly, experts in various sectors of wireless technology are working tirelessly to ensure that the system is made easy and reliable to all people in the world.
