Yes.
After a full month of absolutely no uploads, I'm finally back and I'm more than ready
to continue pumping out quality content every single week.
And no, I was not on a hiatus but this was all due to technical difficulties with hardware.
But that's not what you came here for.
You came here to learn how wireless charging actually works.
So, let's get into it!!
Now, if you are even the slightest bit familiar with wireless charging, you would probably
know that currently, some of the most popular flagship devices from companies such as Apple
and Samsung Use it.
This includes devices such as the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S8 and
S8 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
But the mechanics behind how the process of wireless charging work is very interesting.
Wireless chargers use magnetism to transmit energy.
Essentially, wireless charging uses a loop of coiled wires around a bar magnet (which
is known as an inductor.)
When an electric current passes through the coiled wire, it creates an electromagnetic
field around the magnet, which can then be used to transfer a voltage, or charge, to
something nearby.
In other words, the current coming from the wall power outlet moves through the wire in
the wireless charger, creating a magnetic field.
The magnetic field creates a current in the coil inside the device sitting on the wireless
charger.
This magnetic energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used to charge the battery.
Devices must have the appropriate hardware in them to support wireless charging, therefore,
a device without the necessary coil cannot charge wirelessly.
The Wireless Power Consortium has established the Qi protocol, which dictates how the charger
and the device work together, but all you really need to know is that Qi chargers work
with Qi devices, Obviously.
If you are looking to buy a wireless charger for your device you should also look into
the fact that it must be Qi Certified.
The Wireless Power Consortium says that any knockoff chargers are prone to overheating,
which could damage your phone, your phone case or even your skin.
So, you should make sure that you are buying the proper hardware when attempting to wirelessly
charge your device.
Also, you should keep in mind that wireless charging is not only for your smartphone but
it can also work with other devices which use a battery.
An interesting example would be recent news from BMW stating that there is a possibility
that they will be making a wirelessly charging car.
This device is called the BMW Pad.
The BMW pad connects to a 220-volt outlet, then the sensors on the car show you where
to steer so the vehicle can communicate with the charger.

But that's just about it.
