It is now possible to wirelessly transfer electricity to outdoor devices

An inventor living in California says he’s found a pretty good way to wirelessly transfer power to devices outside of homes. This incredible technology is based on the inductive coupling technology found in wireless phone chargers and can be installed on your window to help move electricity out through the windows. This revolutionary technology, called Power Mole, is currently in the process of being funded on Kickstarter.

Of course, the idea of ​​transmitting electricity through glass is not new, but there are many different problems in using electricity passing through glass windows. First, because cold glass is a very poor conductor, it often needs to be heated to its melting point to allow greater electrical conduction.

Inventor Peter Bevelacqua says he hopes to make it easier for people to install outdoor equipment like security cameras without having to turn to battery-powered options or run power cords through walls. The Power Mole attaches to your window and then to the device using adhesive tape instead of these other methods.

Acqua Industries, the company behind the device, says the device can deliver up to 10 watts of power through any non-metallic material with a thickness of 30 mm or less. It is also stated on the device’s Kickstarter page that it has passed many safety tests, including FCC regulatory limits, to ensure that magnetic and electric fields are not dangerous.

Power Mole has built-in sensors to help detect whether electric and magnetic fields are behaving as designed, so it can turn off fields as needed depending on the objects around it. So, if there is a metal object around it, it disables the fields before unnecessary heat is transferred to the metallic object.

The effort to raise funds for this impressive device on Kickstarter seems to have been successful for now, but the campaign is still live and the first production run is expected to be delivered in just a few months.
