Welcome to Andy's first blog what's this blog going to cover Tech for Good, Outdoor stuff and challenge Adventure and some fun stuff you didn't know about me. Why Andy's Black Hole? Well it was going to be called Andy's Ramblings from edge but Katrina Lambert came up with a better suggestion. What’s it for? A place Andy can dump all the things he come across that might be useful to those people living the dream of #Justdoinggood
This sounds very very hopeful good old engadget keeing usd bang up to date !!

Ummm and when will on the market. this is yet anothe small outfit claiming wild efficiency figures (I bet end to end efficiency will be less than 40%).
Epson/Murata have announced something similar. They have the market weight to get this moving into a range of their ofn products. Hope some of the smaller fish have some key patent technology to enable them to make some money out of their work.
just read the comment, there is also a company called Splashpower developing similar technology, they have been around for years now but stiil no product. Anyone out there know what there doing, where there at and if anything is coming to the market?
Anons...
just googled wireless, there is also pwrmat, ecoupled and wildcharge (the latter is a contact based system not wireless, but very similar). All seem to have product also, but no hardware on the market yet.
Saw the Epson/murata stuff. Seiko is also involved. Sounds interesting but poster 1, I think the efficiency thing will be the killer. I bet you need a wall wart to power the charging surface!
