Welcome to the future.
Week after week, we continue to push the boundaries of wireless power technology—and with each success comes a new benchmark. In our most recent testing, we confirmed that CBAT increases in efficiency when the dielectric potential between the transmitter and receiver plates is influenced. In practical terms, CBAT becomes more efficient when barriers exist between the transmitter and the receiving device.
This behavior stands in direct contrast to today’s wireless charging technologies.
The current wireless charging market is dominated by magnetic induction systems operating within electromagnetic fields. These systems require extremely close proximity between transmitter and receiver—a limitation most clearly demonstrated by modern wireless phone chargers. When a device is not precisely aligned on the charging pad, power transfer stops.
Even minor barriers, such as a phone case, can disrupt the magnetic field and prevent charging altogether. A small interruption is enough to collapse the system.
CBAT thrives in the presence of barriers because barriers increase the dielectric constant. For reference, air has a relatively poor dielectric constant of 1. While CBAT can transmit power through air, real-world environments introduce objects between the transmitter and receiver that possess significantly higher dielectric constants.
Walls, doors, soil, and bodies of water all exhibit far greater dielectric properties than air. As a result, every wall, door, layer of soil, or volume of water between a CBAT transmitter and a CBAT-enabled device actively increases power transmission efficiency.
Rather than being disrupted by the real world, CBAT becomes stronger because of it.
