OvRcharge is the levitating wireless charger for your smartphones. Wireless power transfer is around for years, wireless energy transmitted to electrical load from a base or transmitter. Energy is sent through waves and on other end an inductive coupling to electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. There are some drawbacks are in this technology like power loss and distance limitations but still that’s enough for the magic.
Magnetic levitation or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended in the air with no support other than invisible magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational acceleration and any other accelerations.
The two primary issues involved in magnetic levitation are lifting forces: providing an upward force sufficient to counteract gravity, and stability: ensuring that the system does not spontaneously slide or flip into a configuration where the lift is neutralized.
By Combining the Induction Charging and Magnetic Levitation they designed OvRcharge.
A Wireless Levitational Charger, that is not only suspend the device in the mid air and holds its altitude, but also charge and rotate it as well. OvRcharge stops charging the phone when battery is full but still levitate and rotate the device until it is removed.
To achieve altitude and be able to charge wirelessly, phone requires a special case. that consists of two main parts, electricity receiver from the base and a Magnet to hold its position mid air. So they design ultra thin case to not only protects your investment but to go some levels and also powers it up all at same time. This case has a magnet that will help it to levitate & it also has induction receiver for charging without cables.
Charging base is the thing behind all the science, it is made of wood and has two functions Magnetic levitation and wireless charging. This unit is powerful enough to levitate 600 Grams unit and charge it.
The only difference between two models beside size is the output current rate, as OvRcharge ~500mAh and OvRcharge ~700 mAh. Both Models are Fully compatible with all of their cases and/or receivers. Check out their kickstarter campaign below.
