True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free setup)

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

Hi ya'll. I want to answer a few questions about ETI's wire-free power zones.

We did "come out of nowhere" as we've been in stealth mode for 7 years, and Matt from DIY Perks was one of the first to get our Eval Kit to tinker with.

We're excited that after so much hard work this platform is ready for commercialization. We have 43 patents and counting. Our plan is to license the technology to various device makers. We're also working on a kickstarter to offer a wirelessly powered desk.

The kit passed both FCC and CE certifications. ETI’s wireless power system operates at 6.78 MHz, which falls within the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band—a globally recognized frequency range for safe, regulated energy transmission.

Our system uses magnetic resonance, not RF radiation in the traditional sense. This means:

• The near-field magnetic field is the primary energy transfer mechanism, not radiated far-field waves.

• The field strength at normal use distances is many times weaker than the Earth’s own magnetic field.

• The system meets FCC Part 18 and CE compliance standards for electromagnetic emissions and exposure.

In short, the power field is localized, non-ionizing, and safe for humans and pets under normal operating conditions.

In terms of efficiency, the system is about 80% efficient overall when running at full capacity. The efficiency depends a bit on what you’re powering—bigger devices like monitors are super efficient (around 90%), while tiny ones like a single LED light are a bit less so, just because of how small the load is. We do have an idling power use of about 10 watts to maintain the power zone. Of course the desk can be switched off when not in use.

I hope that is helpful!

I dont understand - where is the commercial product?

If it's true, that you can power a screen wireless,
(like he does in the video),
then this is already a final product,
that will have many million buyers... ?

Why is it not on sale ?

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

Because this is very new technology.

Amberlewis012@reddit

A bit late, but just got recommended the youtube video and found out this reddit thread. Yep- this is GENUINELY too cool to be ignored.

Definitely some concerns over health and safety and all that... but, overall, definitely keeping an eye on this. Literally cannot wait for this to improve and more people to know about it!

Flaccid-Aggressive@reddit

recharging headphones and earbuds would be amazing. I'm imagining a side-table next to my bed where I can just drop anything. things like having a bluetooth speaker that can be used all day and whenever you want to take it you just pick it up and you know it is fully charged. You can do wireless HDMI so a completely wireless monitor is totally doable. I can't wait to check this out!

[-]

FuckNinjas@reddit

This is too cool to not be noticed.

Since you're using magnetic resonance, it means you can even power submersible devices, right? I'm having my mind blown over here.

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

Yeah! The 3D magnetic zone (or force field, if you will) can pass through water. So one of the applications I am personally excited about is powering things in water, where creating air tight battery compartments is a real challenge. By eliminating the battery (and need for a compartment that opens) it paves the way for powered air tight devices. Could be cool!

zdy132@reddit

So many questions about this product.

Are they compliant with EMF regulations? I do not want my desk to kill anyone with a pacemaker in a 5 meter radius.

And do they interfere with other signals? The logitech powerplay messes with master 3s mouse's bluetooth signal, I wonder if Etherdyne can do better.

account312@reddit

And what's the efficiency? I wouldn't care for a keyboard or a mouse (unless it were outlandishly bad), but once you start adding some monitors, that's a decent amount of power.

[-]

Sylanthra@reddit (OP)

I can't find anything about power efficiency, but it did say that the thing has a 10w base power draw, so if you are only powering a keyboard and mouse, the efficiency is going to be very bad.

[-]

account312@reddit

10 W idle is pretty bad for something you never turn turn off.

[-]

EscapeNeither6619@reddit

i would put this on 1 smart plug and my PC on a 2nd smart plug. Only run power to desk when PC plug draws power.

[-]

FollowingFeisty5321@reddit

Doesn't really matter if you have a bunch of solar or energy from renewable sources. You can commit to more than that just by preferring one wired-electrical thing over another slightly more efficient option.

[-]

slvrsmth@reddit

Power is power. 10w of renewables not wasted replaces 10w of non-renewables elsewhere.

Asterisk not 100% efficient, asterisk batteries.

[-]

Reddia@reddit

Not all countries allow backfeeding into the grid but your point generally stands.

[-]

BraveZombies@reddit

It doesn't really stand. Solar energy from start to finish is 100% renewable and recyclable. You can use as much power as you want and it would have zero impact on anything.

[-]

Reddia@reddit

Yes but he was implying that you’re still using power that would’ve otherwise been used by something “useful” instead of just using it because it’s available.

[-]

arahman81@reddit

It's not even backfeed, just the 10w being used somewhere else instead of just wasted.

[-]

Reddia@reddit

Yes but if you can’t backfeed and produce more than you’re using an extra load doesn’t matter.

[-]

VenditatioDelendaEst@reddit

Power is a tool to enable human flourishing. Using power is not bad.

That said, I personally have no desire for wireless keyboards or monitors.

[-]

Strazdas1@reddit

last time i checked renewable sources arent free.

[-]

vandreulv@reddit

There's a loss at every step, Wireless is typically between 70-80% efficient, at best, and is subject to a lot more situations that can cause issues and loss: distance from source (inverse square law), conversion (ac to dc, dc > dc voltage regulation), etc...

It's never going to be as ideal as a direct plug. You will always have more latency, loss and interference with any wireless setup.

[-]

azn_dude1@reddit

They're FCC and CE certified according to their website. I'm not sure what that actually means.

[-]

Midn1ghtR4mbl3r@reddit

I tried searching for their filing on fcc.gov and got nothing. They did get a license for experimental testing, but there is no FCC Certification currently available as far as I can see.

[-]

zdy132@reddit

Missed that part when reading their page.

Yeah if they are certified by those two, I think it's safe to assume they are safe to most stuff. Good luck to them, I'd love to have less cable on my desk.

[-]

advester@reddit

The max sized receiver (115 mm) can only transfer 7w and the transmitter is 100w max. As usual, wireless power has limited usefulness. No magic here.

[-]

Framed-Photo@reddit

In fairness, a LOT of devices can make great use of that.

Low powered bluetooth stuff is a given like you said, mice and keyboards and such. But even stuff like phones or laptops could get some passive benefit from something like this. Sure it's pretty slow, especially for those laptops, but it's definitely a good start if you could just lay your laptop or a phone anywhere on your desk and have it be charged by morning.

[-]

FoodMeOnceHamOnYou@reddit

Exactly. I mean in theory you could have a small SBC cluster running entirely wireless, and everything IoT, if you strategically place transmitters around the house.

[-]

slvrsmth@reddit

My issue with wireless power is that for 10w drawn by the charger, around 7w might reach the device, while 3w goes into heating the room. With wires, >9w will go to the device.

That's why I try to use wireless charging only on devices that have worn out charger ports.

[-]

interbingung@reddit

only 30% loss, thats good enough for me.

BbkEddy16@reddit

Anyone know an eta on when this stock might go public? Could be a good investment long term idk

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

Ah that is nice to hear your enthusiasm on ETI's potential. We're still a very small startup and have no plans to go public. At least not any time soon.

[-]

BbkEddy16@reddit

Thanks for the reply I wish you all the best on your journey! This could be revolutionary and so many use cases I can think of that can benefit so many people great work 😊

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

Thanks so much!!!

No_Economist867@reddit

Hello, I really like your project, I want to participate in its development with my hands, a little bit with my brain, for example, I can process requests from the site

[-]

reddit_equals_censor@reddit

what i'm curious about here is the possible negative health effects here.

we know, that wifi and other wireless data connections cause negative health effects.

shown in tons of peer reviewed research and yes at the power levels, that are used today by people,

but wireless power like this could be worse? who knows...

as wifi, cellular, etc... connections never went through proper safety testing, before it got forced onto the public, we could expect, that the same wouldn't be the case here either.

so even if it gets approved, it could give you lots of health issues.

increased cancer, headaches, sleep issues, etc... etc... (all known negative effects from wireless data transfer technologies shown in peer reviewed research)

so yeah cool technology and cool video, but certainly not worth being the poor animal, that it gets field tested on....

[-]

Green_Struggle_1815@reddit

we know, that wifi and other wireless data connections cause negative health effects.

no they don't.

[-]

reddit_equals_censor@reddit

yes we do.

for example:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5417432/

Long-term mobile phone use was associated with 2.22 times greater odds of low-grade glioma occurrence (OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.69–2.92).

glioma is a type of cancer.

and a study in the lab :

https://www.besjournal.com/en/article/doi/10.3967/bes2019.107

In the current study, alterations were noted in hematological and biochemical parameters of groups exposed to a 2.5 GHz EMF emission from an indoor Wi-Fi device over a period of 4-8 weeks. The precise mechanism underlying these effects was not identified in this study; however, the results demonstrate that long-term exposure to EMFs can induce tissue damage and alterations in biochemical parameters.

so yes it is a fact, that wireless radiation from wifi and cellular modems and wireless communication towers is causing harm to us.

the research is quite clear on this.

unless of course you wanna ignore the peer reviewed research, because.... you don't wanna hear the truth.

but there it is.

[-]

Green_Struggle_1815@reddit

However, current evidence is of poor quality and limited quantity.

Again, we don't

CI = 1.69–2.92

lol

yeshitsbond@reddit

don't forget the chemtrails

jeffy303@reddit

The tech seems to be super cool but bit too DIY for me. If the company making these holds the patents I hope they switch to some kind of licensing model. Because it would be super cool if you just buy known brands products that would support this type of charging. Everything from phones to charging cases supporting it. And having lots options in adapters and configurations.

[-]

Ill_Departure_1435@reddit

We agree. The eval kit is just a first step. The goal is for ETI to work with product manufacturers.

[-]

No_Revolution1284@reddit

It's wild that that company seemingly appeared out of nowhere, I'm assuming it's either pretty expensive or very inefficient, but likely both.

[-]

Spirited-Guidance-91@reddit

Looks like standard inductively coupled wireless. Logitech had one before, it works identically. https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/powerplay.html

[-]

Grankongla@reddit

"This is nothing like wireless phone charging"
Proceeds to explain how it's exactly like wireless phone charging, just with a different coil so you get a bigger magnetic field.

[-]

THiedldleoR@reddit

My gut reaction was that this can't be safe. Neither people nor electronics. It's neat and I'd love to have something like it, but I just can't trust it.

[-]

DrSlowbro@reddit

"Truly Wireless Power" nice clickbait as usual about Wireless BS. And hey, it's from one of the major clickbaiters, DIY Perks, about "Wireless".

It's a bunch of fucking wires and adapters being "hidden". Wireless charging is also a fun lie too. You're... using a wire to an adapter, that you place your phone to charge it in A VERY LOSSY (over 50% energy lost) fashion instead of... just plugging that wire into your phone? Why?

[-]

GregLittlefield@reddit

I just saw this video too. I find it weird I'm only hearing about it now, when this company and their tech appear to have been around for several years. This seems revolutionnary and we're only hearing about now? That's almost supicious. :D What's the catch here? Cancer?
