Earlier today, Xiaomi unveiled a new technology called Mi Air Charge that will charge devices over the air wirelessly. According to the company, this “remote charging technology” can charge the device when the user is carrying it around the room and even if something is in between the one of sight.
As per the company, this will let users charge devices which are not connected in any visible form be juiced at a speed of 5 Watts. This is not tied with Qi charging and requires “miniaturized antenna array with built-in ‘beacon antenna’ and ‘receiving antenna array”. The smartphone for example will have an array of 14 antennas to convert a millimetre wave signal emitted from a charger setup far away. This signal is converted to electric energy once it reaches the device by a rectifier circuit.
The current demo can charge multiple devices simultaneously at a speed of 5W even if they are “several meters” away. The company has said that any objects in the way will not interrupt the charging process but did not reveal if there will be any drops in charging speed due to it.
