[QUOTE=evilking1;17798452]1) lift the phone up 2) text or talk 3) put the phone back[/QUOTE] But if the battery is too low for calling, as it usually is, then youre fucked.

Wow thats [B]Shocking[/B] :) Cmon where are my funnies It was funny!
Btw guys, you know those cooking plates which don't get warm at all? This is the exact same technique, I don't know the word for it at the moment but well. Long story short It has everything to do with magnetic fields. Oh and btw, this will be expensive as fuck, the product(s) will probably not cost too much but the cost to drive these bastards will be fuckload, why? Well, about 80% of the power you put into the powermat, or anything like this for that matter will go to waste. Magnetic fields in this form is just not that effective.
[QUOTE=Crabface;17798656]What if the phone was dead and you needed to text or call straight away?[/QUOTE] Smash your face against the power mat thing and talk that way
This would be pretty cool if you could make a GIANT one and put it under a building, gaming conventions would rule if everybody could have unlimited power. If I had alot of money I would invent a pair of pants that used energy created by you walking to store up power into a super large battery, and then output power into your pocket, charging whatever device is in it.
$99 and $40 for each charging thingy. That would cost me about $200. I would rather carry a few chargers.
"It saves you a huge amount of time" I do believe 4 seconds is now considered a huge amount of time.
Well, if you guys had brains, no offense, this would be good for people who's charging ports are fucked, and they cant use their phone. But with this new invention, you never have to worry bout a thing. The cost is a bit too much ($100... REALLY?) Billy Mays would have made this product the next best thing

Your idea with the pants is a little novel, though. However, I would do it with a pair of shoes and piezoelectric generators in the soles. I wouldn't expect a whole lot of current from that. Since you are talking about pockets, you could instead place your device between what is effectively 2 charged plates lining the pockets and alternate the voltage potential across the plates, making an alternating E-field through the device.
I was imagining something like a plug socket that beamed energy across the room into your devices :frown:
You guys should look into WiTricity, they're working on getting wireless AC, so now everything in your house can be wireless. Could you imagine rigging giant source coils like a radio tower, and all the electric cars on the road have receiving coils? Driving forever, how pro. [url]http://www.witricity.com/[/url]
I'm now thinking about taking apart my shake to operate flashlight, and putting the magnet in one shoe, and the coil in another, and seeing if I can generate enough power to charge an iPod

Also the funny part is their advertising says it saves a lot of energy and it's the second coming of Jesus etc etc.
Lick it.
What a waste of money.
If i put my face to it will it charge me so i don't have to sleep?

I hope I can fit my laptop onto that. That would be easier to carry around to friends houses and such.

Looks like something I'd see in Cribs. Fiddy be like, shit man, look at this shit, I can charge my shit with no cords. You thought this was cool, you ain't even seen it yet. This is a mole nigguh, a small placemat compared to what I got upstairs, check this shit out. That's right motherfucker, my bathroom is a Powermat. All these walls charge motherfucker. Yo check this out. That's right motherfucker, my toilet fucking charges my shit.
I love how they're using the iPod recharging symbol.
