Electronic waste generated by discarded cables, chargers, and batteries are an incredibly significant burden on the environment. Millons of tons of plastics, chemicals, metals are being produced, transported, and processed for the production, distribution and packaging of cables, touchpads, batteries, power banks, plugs, adaptors and cut forests for their packaging made from woods just to make a device receive electricity.
We transfer the electricity on air to devices to charge/feed them in a distance of up to 30 m and 360-degree radius, making all physical connections, batteries, touchpads, cables, adaptors superfluous while saving from the environment harmful waste and proximity of the user dangerous chemicals in batteries, power banks and micro-plastics and enabling devices to longer uptime.
