In answer to the question relating to, how are you going to get your power receiver into all of these devices that need to receive wireless power.
The answer from Meredith was basically make a module, then an example for phones was given
1. initially make a case for phones to receive power
2. Have the receiver inbuilt into phone
However, In step 2 won't having a case on the phone stop it receiving power?
So both step 1 and step 2 require custom cases of some sort, either with uBeam receiver in the case, or in step 2 somehow the case being transparent to the ultrasonic signal.
Seems like a wonderful technology, so cost effective and practical to implement.
In talking about other devices she infers that they would provide a number of receivers for powering things like IoT, TV, stick on lightbulbs etc. (she talks about powering various item types during the presentation, then gives the example of providing modules when asked how this could be done).
So wireless power to 110V/240V as a plug in module (not a custom module for the device, but a generic IEC or barrel jack/USB)? Seems way practical to take wireless power -> 110v/240v AC -> device like a TV sitting in the middle of the room with no wires attached. Really?
