Today, Wi-Charge announced PowerPuck, which they claim to be an ultra-compact long-range wireless charger. The charger utilizes Wi-Charge's AirCord technology and plugs into a wall socket or screws into a light bulb socket. they claim that the device can power compatible devices from distances up to 30 feet away. Wireless charging is becoming more important in today's world and we are hoping to see it in many more devices and this technology may help that happen sooner than later.

How Does AirCord Work?
In short, AirCord transmits power using "invisible beams of light" from the transmitter on the device. The transmitters find the nearby receivers and deliver power to them using the light. The receiving device receives the power using a "miniature photovoltaic cell" which is essentially a small solar panel.
Wi-Charge hopes for this technology to be in every device imaginable. The main market right now appears to be in small smart devices like IoT devices and smarthome devices.
