Disney's new OTA charging technology has plenty of potential
The folks at Disney do a lot more research than trying to figure how how much to raise theme park ticket prices. Lately, they have been looking at quasistatic cavity resonance. It is based on Nikola Tesla’s coil circuit that produces an energy field. The idea is to allow someone with a mobile device to walk into a room and have the phone in his pocket charged OTA without wires and without pads. Yes, this is a charging solution that Energous has already started to address with its WattUp product.
Disney scientists say that the technology can be scaled down to "charging cabinets" or scaled up to huge warehouses. A lot more testing needs to be done before all of the potential of this system becomes available to the public.
