Next generation of living wireless 2.0
With technological advances and ubiquitous connectivity enabled by WIFI, Bluetooth, and 5G, the world is shifting to a wireless life.
With the convenience of replacing the wires in several devices and appliances, consumers are now, demanding the same comfort and flexibility, and the spatial freedom experiences they enjoy for charging and/or feeding (direct energy flow to operate), be applied in all devices.
People are already aware of the misfeasance of world resources and the damage to their health by the conventional power transmission technologies used in energy flow and in that context a surging demand for harmless wireless power availability without cable, adapter, touch-pads, and batteries is undeniable.
We are set to answer that demand.
We try here to explain the technology in plain language as follows:
The electricity transfer needs finally a transmitter (which sends the electricity) and a receiver which receives it and lets the device operate where it is embedded or attached to.
The problem ever was and is how to bridge the convenient distance between the transmitter and receiver over the air with
- as much as possible wattage to enable the device to work
- as little as possible loss of energy over the air
- no harm to living beings or objects
biaNergy™solved these 3 problems successfully as a novum.
- We can currently bridge in the lower wattages (up to 5,5 Watt) which is enough to operate all IoT devices, mices, TV remotes, watches, wearables, hearables, smartphones, displays, lamps, and most importantly batteries, and much more, in a distance up to 30 m (MESHable even up to 100 m) and with a loss quality equal to cable loss (5%) solidly. Our technology is almost ready and we have our first prototypes. In the mid-wattage device category (up to 60 Watt) enough to operate all home & office appliances e.g., floor lamps, printers, smart TVs, etc.) at a distance of up to 30 m our solution is coming very soon
- With as little as possible power loss at low-wattage devices at 3%-5% and by mid-wattage devices currently max 14% (soon we will reduce it to 5% )
- We have the permission of the U.S. FCC & most of the EU countries that our technology is harmless to all living beings and objects
- Our tech has been benchmarked by Solar Impulse Foundation and awarded the Efficient Solution Label after being perused technically, economically, and as beneficial to the environment. (See here: https://solarimpulse.com/solutions-explorer/bianergy-electricity-on-air )
Stating that let’s now give an example of which premise is the next to explain our technology.
What is Magnetic Resonance Technology-Extended (MRT-E)?
You know MRT from the health sector, scanning the body. But that is another MRT that we use in the health sector. We employ the electrical energy and change it into an oscillating format. Simplified said as we (even rarely) experience it in the following example:
A resonance is the type in which a singer can shatter a wine glass by singing a single loud, clear, high note. Here, the wine glass is the resonant oscillating system. The sound wave energy is converted to mechanical vibrations of the glass itself. When the singer hits the note that meets the resonant frequency of the glass, on the other side the glass absorbs energy, begins vibrating on the table, and can eventually even shatter. The resonant frequency of the glass is dependent on the size, shape, and thickness of the glass, and how much fluid is in it. The matching of the resonant frequency of both is immediately dependent on the distance as well.
We use here, somehow, the same way trying the energy to transfer, with as little as possible loss, let the resonance of the transmitter and receiver finally meet with the help of RFT implemented as an ushering/bridging proxy to our MRT-E.
Consider these use cases for wireless charging that we can expect soon, enabled by magnetic resonance:
Unaccountable numerous industrial applications would benefit from the removal of wires that pose hazards (for example, electrical wires in a drilling and mining environment are a fire hazard), carry electrical noise (critical to avoid in precision manufacturing), or are otherwise impractical.
One day electric and autonomous vehicles can charge wirelessly by simply driving over a charging pad in the garage or parking lot, eliminating gas stations and making potentially autonomous vehicles even more self-sufficient.
The entire office experience will be more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing as phones, laptops, mouses, speakers, wearables, and lights can charge and operate throughout the day without a wire in sight and sockets.
By going wireless on-air we correspond with 7 of 17 ESG Goals, concrete examples:
- billions of meters and tons of power cords and metals are not needed to be manufactured anymore and, later, are dumped into landfills.
- batteries with harmful chemicals inside becoming needles
- packaging made of cartons for them is getting superfluous id est saving forests
- devices gaining longer uptime
The next generation of wireless charging
Our technology enables rapid charging of multiple devices simultaneously within a 3D range, delivering true freedom of device placement. Our solution uses radio frequency (RF) coupling with MRT (Magnetic Resonance Technology) and is the perfect choice for wearables, IoT devices, consumer electronics, drones, robots, and industrial applications.
MRT surface-based charging is a direct upgrade over first-generation inductive technologies, perfect for providing alignment-free charging experiences to mobile phones, laptops, workspaces, and more.
biaNergy™ MRT standard charging technology is able to power multiple devices simultaneously at speeds equivalent to wired charging, without requiring precise placement on the charging surface.
Safety
Regulatory bodies and governments have set guidelines to ensure wireless charging is safe, and meeting safety regulations is a critical part of bringing the product to market. Planning for regulatory compliance is a core part of the entire product development process. Our technology is approved by FCC and it is harmless to all living beings and objects.
Frequently asked questions
With the increase in consumer electronic devices and the requirement to be ever more mobile, the topic of wireless power transfer safety and RF exposure has become increasingly important. Following we answer frequently asked questions related to the safety of wireless power systems.
The ways in which our bodies interact with electromagnetic fields have been studied for a long time and are well understood. Products that generate electromagnetic fields are regulated by regional authorities (e.g., FCC in the United States) to ensure specified safety standards are met. Any product which meets or exceeds the safety requirements is determined to be safe.
Products that do not meet the safety criteria are not allowed to be sold.
There are two primary types of electromagnetic radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is radiation that can directly affect changes in the atomic structure of the body by ionizing atoms. Such radiation includes X-rays, Gamma-rays, and others above the frequencies of visible light (e.g. petahertz to exahertz). Ionizing radiation is mostly used for medical and inspection technologies and requires more stringent regulation for exposure. Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation is more common and includes wireless radios, WIFI, and other general electromagnetic waves used for communication and power (e.g., kilohertz to gigahertz). Non-ionizing radiation within prescribed limits is safe. Regional regulations ensure that products do not exceed certain levels of emission to prevent interference with other systems and are safe for humans. Non-ionizing radiation typically does not cause any immediately noticeable effect in the body, however, at high intensities could cause tissue heating or nerve stimulation via an induced electric field in the body. SAR, or “specific absorption rate”, is the measure of power (watts) induced in tissue per weight of the tissue (kilograms). An induced electric field is the measure of induced electric potential (volts) caused by electromagnetic radiation across a given distance in the body (meters). Regulations are usually expressed in limits on these quantities.
Electric and magnetic fields are both categories of electromagnetic fields. Whenever a time-varying electric field exists, there is a corresponding magnetic field, and vice-versa which have dominant electric potential are distinguished from those that have dominant magnetic potential. Each of these types of fields has different effects on the body and may behave differently around diverse types of materials. In this sense, it can be important to distinguish between the two types of fields and which is dominant. Wireless power transfer technology such as magnetic induction and magnetic resonance is based on transferring energy using the magnetic field component in the reactive near-field region. These reactive near-fields are non-radiative and fall off with distance at a rate much faster than far-field RF technology like WIFI, cell phones, etc.
Yes. Like other products that use electromagnetic energy e.g., WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. cell phones also emit electromagnetic radiation. Like all products that emit radiation, both cell phones and wireless power systems are regulated and required to meet certain standards. Cell phones are most commonly referenced because of how mobile they are and how close to the body they are used (e.g., holding a phone next to your ear/head). Since cell phones must interact with base stations that are physically far from the user and the user is often holding the phone next to his/her head, RF exposure caused by cell phones can be higher compared to other types of products
Each country determines which local regulatory body governs the safety of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, often referred to as radio frequency (RF) exposure.
In the United States of America (U.S.A.), the FCC sets regulations for RF exposure in Title 47, Chapter 1 of the Code of Federal Regulations
