The network cable has been eliminated, the next turn to the power cord

Every time when the laptop is out of power, you have to humble to find a socket; every time the phone is no electricity, and there is no mobile power, you can only give up the phone to the power supply that charge, and then their own alone.

This pain, the world is similar. But the difference is that some people have a husband who can solve these pain points.

This super talented and loving husband is Marin solja?i? Dr. WiTricity, a professor of physics at MIT, is the founder of the Wireless Power Company of America. More than 10 years ago, her wife found that the phone was out of power, always ringing, very annoying. There are all kinds of wires in the wall, why is the last meter of charge unable to solve the problem? It's not scientific. Love husband Marin Solja?i? The doctor set out to solve the problem. In those days, the air-separation charge seemed like a myth. However, Kung Fu does not bear the lover, 2006, 32-Year-old Marin solja?i? The technology was chosen for the MIT Tech Review magazine TR35 (the list of 35 inventors under 35 years old). By 2016, the world is expected to be turned upside down by this technology.

WiTricity to the magnetic resonance of the way to achieve wireless power supply, the farthest distance reached 2.4 meters, can simultaneously for a number of equipment long-distance charging, but also can penetrate the wall, wood and other barriers. Resonance is a very common phenomenon in nature, and we are most familiar with the resonance of sound and instrument. As long as two objects vibrate in the same frequency, energy exchange occurs, and WiTricity uses this principle.

When it comes to charging, most people think of radiation first. WiTricity's CEO, Alex Gruzen, says the technology is completely harmless to humans.

WiTricity support long-distance transmission, support a number of devices at the same time charging, the placement of the requirements are not high, can pass through obstacles, harmless to the human body, these are the original wireless charging technology does not have.

The "Witricity" technology was first Marin Solja?i, an assistant professor at MIT in the United States. The doctor invented it, and he showed it in 2009, with two large lines punctuate the 60W light bulb two meters away (see above). Then the people involved in the technology from MIT to set up a company of the same name. At present, WiTricity has mastered more than 100 key patents in magnetic resonance mode. Now, the size of the WiTricity product has been drastically reduced and can be made in the figure below. At the event, CEO Alex Gruzen also showed a charge for multiple iphones.

WiTricity CEO Alex Gruzen come up to share the beginning so love story, a look is a marketing master. In fact, Alex Gruzen is a technical, MIT aerospace engineering student, who served as a member of the Charles Stark Drey Cooper Laboratory. Then went to Harvard to read Business school, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Compaq, Macheen and other companies have done market, consulting or management work, but also in Japan for a few years, can be said to be a technology, and understand the market, but also understand the cross-cultural background, is definitely a technology company to do globalization of the candidates. April 2014, became WITRICITYCEO, also because of this.

The twin swords are WiTricity, and their technology has been applied to Toyota electric cars and Intel computers. In fact, virtually all automakers have signed a partnership agreement with them to apply WiTricity's wireless charging technology to their cars, which are likely to be launched in 2017.

In fact, basically all the products with weak endurance can use the technology. Wearable equipment from needless to say, a day full of the situation is the change, the future such as Google Glass products can be split products and batteries, users on the back of a small wireless charging equipment can be a long time off the line. Unmanned aerial vehicles, the future is likely to have a variety of wireless charging stations, the power is running out, the unmanned aircraft to recharge their own charge, and then fly to the destination. In the medical field, the technology is more widely used, such as the previous installation of pacemakers in the heart, the need to bring the device out of the body to charge, so that the charge is not human and unsafe, WiTricity can completely improve the situation.

The vision of CEO Alex Gruzen is that in the next few years our rooms will be wireless, and all the appliances can get a steady stream of electricity from a central charging base.

Mobile, portable has been the mainstream of scientific and technological development in recent years. For example, from the computer to the notebook, from the network card network cable to the Intel chip built-in wireless internet industry, are following this trend. In fact, this is not only the improvement of products, progress, behind the promotion of the development of related industries. Wireless Internet access, for example, drives Wi-Fi-related industries and creates business opportunities. New business occurs when wireless charging replaces wired charging.

This picture above reflects the wireless charging market. Now there are a lot of people in this industry, the application of one night burst red, but in fact the physical research at the bottom is time-consuming and laborious, WiTricity basically done for 10 years.

A professor who spends 10 years researching and using these scientific research to make a change in the world is hard to imagine at home. But in the United States WiTricity such a phenomenon is very common. The main thing is that foreign countries will allow teachers to do projects during school, teachers can commercialize their own projects. This is hard to imagine at home. Science and engineering teachers have their own companies are "unspoken rules", but often do not get to the table said. 2007 Netizen Exposure "Professor of rich" list, quickly in various forums were reproduced, mixed. The limitations of the system and consciousness seem to have been brewing inside the researchers. August 2013, several domestic and foreign Chinese Scholars Letters Science magazine, dwelt "Chinese scientists have not been able to win the Nobel Prize breakthrough, research and business has been disconnected for decades, only a handful of research results into innovative technology and products." Chinese companies do not want to report what the domestic hope, have to rely on foreign core technology. ”

Some researchers who do not have the means to study commercialization end up with other methods, and in recent years there have been many cases of embezzlement of research funds, involving many schools. In recent encounters with some student entrepreneurs, many of whom have complained about the system, others have talked about the teacher for their own projects, and students for profit, and even try to break up the student's entrepreneurial team.

PS:

About the beginning of the love story, I guess the CEO is just casually speaking, everyone just listen. That's not what WiTricity's official website says. The version of the official website but the founder I can't stand the phone when there is no electricity when the phone always ring. It seems that now technology entrepreneurship is not easy, but also have to tell a roseonly story.
