Eon can charge devices within a 1m distance, it's fine at home when you're like working in the same spot. But could you make it even longer? To be able to walk in another room and still charge your phone/laptop?
Hello! Of course! Currently, we have a device known as "Eon" that is a power station for desktop placement. Its current range reaches up to 1 meter distance, however, having developed our technology, we are capable of making devices with a higher range of wireless power transmission. To be more precise, we are talking around 10 meters. To implement that, we will need larger power output, but the mechanism of our technological solution allows us to do so.
I've been hearing about wireless charging for quite some time, although I haven't seen one personally. I heard there are limitations to this technology. I would like to hear the Node team's thoughts about this.
Hi! The fact that the power is distributed proportionally and reduced if you charge simultaneously many devices could be a limitation for Eon.
Eon consumes about 1W from the network in standby mode. The maximum power it can transmit is150W. When any electrical devices equipped with Node receivers are placed in the area of action, the power consumption from the network begins to increase. The closer the device is to Eon the higher the transmission ratio, at the most approximate distance it is about 95% and linearly decreases with increasing distance.
For example: If we bring to Eon a discharged phone with maximum power consumption (equal to) 5W (standard USB 5V / 1A) then Eon starts charging it, and once the phone is charged its adapter (inside the phone) breaks the circuit, the phone stops charging and Eon enters standby mode.
The same with several devices, but you will)need to combine them, sum up the power in case the devices are at the same distance, and if on different there will be some average value depending on each (power-to-distance ratio).
(All this Pts will be difficult to perceive, so you need to simplify the course, but do so that there is no ambiguous interpretation, like what we transmit more than we consume. And it's important not to confuse the power consumption of Eon, Eon transmission power and the power consumption of the charged devices.)
The power consumption of Eon will always be less than the transmitted power by 5-10%. The power transmitted by Eon depends on the total power consumption of the charged devices and the distance to them. However, the transmitted power is distributed evenly among the devices depending on the amount of power consumed, for example, if we place a device that consumes 150W in the area of action with another device that consumes 10W, then the power is distributed so (without taking into account the distance) 140W for the first and 10W for the second. If we add a third device with power consumption equaal to100W in that area, the energy will be redistributed as a percentage of each device at the rate of 150W at all: the first 58% - 87W, the second 4% - 6W, the third 38% - 57W.
If you put 10 devices each consuming 15W, they will all be charged by the equal amount - 15W (150W in total) and Eo will consume 157.5W from the outlet
However, we are constantly working on the improvement of our current devices and a better development of new ones, so we try to reduce all possible limitations to make our devices as efficient and convenient as possible.
