Technology - Overview:

Vision

Wireless electricity has arrived.   Finally we can think about eliminating power cords and becoming truly wireless.  PowerBeam has created a system that transmits wireless power and has made it safe to use in consumer environments.  One day, all products will be PowerBeamed and all of your devices will simply work.  No cord, no battery, no worries! 

Strategic Advantages:

Control: is the essence of power. We control where, when and how much power is transmitted and to what it is transmitted too.  Having this degree of command on the energy transferred gives us a great advantage in both the breadth of products PowerBeam can support and also the development of future products which will be developed as a result of our technology.    
 
Adaptability: one Powceiver™ can be powered from multiple Powmitters™ or one Powmitter™ can power many Powceivers™. Powceivers™ can be integrated into just about any device.  This benefit allows versatility in environments that are ideal for one to many applications.     
 
Range:
our technology provides the ability to power devices at any distance required. Distance is our biggest advantage.  As our beams are collimated, great distances can be achieved without loss in power or efficiency.  No other wireless power technology can compete with our range.

Power: we can provide anywhere from one watt to hundreds of watts depending on the product requirement.  The physics of our technology does not limit us on the amount of power we can transfer. 

Security: the theft-protection mechanism ensures that only authenticated Powceivers can access power from a Powmitter™.  This ensures that all the energy transmitted is received to the proper location and is not simply pumped into open space. This also allows us to use the energy as efficiently as possible and guarantees the energy is not “stolen” by another device. 


Background

Where would we be without wireless networks?  Not only did they make life much more convenient and flexible, once people saw them in action, they thought of new ways to do new things.   It is time for electricity to be similarly wireless.  We insert our WiFi card into our laptop to liberate us from cables and then begin the hunt – first for the clunky power cords we’ve been lugging around and then– in conference rooms, in airports, in cafes– for the nearest electrical outlet that will provide the power to keep the unit running. 
 
Why can’t these devices as well as cell phones and PDAs be charged surreptitiously when we are in a room?  What is the value of wireless audio and video, if the powered speakers and flat-panel displays must be positioned inconveniently near a plug and have unsightly wires hanging down from them?  Why should we need to consider anything other than aesthetics when we position a lamp or mount a ceiling light?  Why should we constantly be fighting with the cord to our vacuum cleaner? 
 
The answer is that wireless power has not been technically feasible.  Now it is.  Cost and performance trends in photonic technologies converged to bring wireless electricity within reach.  PowerBeam has bundled these advancements in a package that is convenient and safe to use in consumer environments.
