ALEXA! charge my phone.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could charge our devices automatically without any cables or stands? I know it is, and it gave me the idea of air charging or charging via magnetic induction.
You would walk into a room and your phone would start charging.

Thus I present to you The Air Charger.

ABOUT

Air charging is a type of wireless power transfer. It utilizes electromagnetic induction to give power to devices. Air charging can also be utilized in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes, medical devices, toys, and many more. The air charger can be placed near a charging station or inductive pad without needing to be aligned or make electrical contact with a dock or plug. Air charging is so named because it transfers energy via air. This is a revolutionary innovation of wireless charging.

The concept of air charging was first proposed back in 1894 by M. Hutin and M. Le-Blanc. But due to the heavy popularity of combustion engines, their idea was forgotten. Fortunately, around the 1980s scientists started researching and were able to invent their prototypes but they didn’t quite work as they hoped. A lot of people tried but failed. Even in the present, Air charging is just a concept. But it’s not considered fictional anymore and a lot of people are trying to make it successful.

How does it work?

The core technology behind air charging is Inductive coupling. To start with, exchanging current goes through an induction loop in the charging station. The moving electric charge makes an attractive field, which vacillates in strength because the electric flow’s sufficiency is fluctuating. This changing attractive field makes an exchanging electric flow in the versatile gadget’s enlistment curl, which thusly goes through a rectifier to change it over to coordinate flow. At long last, the immediate current charges a battery or gives working power.

More distances between sender and collector devices can be accomplished when the inductive charging framework utilizes full inductive coupling, where a capacitor is added to every acceptance curl to make two LC circuits with a particular reverberation recurrence. The recurrence of the substituting current is coordinated with the reverberation recurrence, and the recurrence is picked relying upon the distance wanted for top effectiveness.

The air charger has a self-developed isolated charging pile, more like a set of interference antennas. Which can accurately detect the location of your smartphone.

If your smartphone comes in contact with the charging pile, it transmits millimeter wide waves through beamforming. Beamforming essentially allows an antenna to transmit a wireless signal from one location to a specific endpoint (in this case your device) instead of aimlessly and inefficiently around an area.

MARKET DEMAND

The present generation is continuously developing thus trying to make almost everything automatic and more advanced. Making things automatic and advanced is cool but these devices require power and everyone knows how annoying it can be to wait for the device to charge. Therefore air charging is revolutionary and would be required in almost every aspect of our lives in the future.

RELEVANCE: What makes it unique?

The air charger can be placed anywhere as long as it can be connected to the power source. It transmits power via magnetic waves which are not harmful to our body at all. You don’t have to plug in or out the device repeatedly, you can just leave it plugged in. It doesn’t consume power if there is no device to charge. Since it can be plugged in forever it increases the durability of the socket as well as the device. It covers just a small area ( almost a room ) so you don’t have to worry about others stealing your electricity. It supports dynamic charging i.e it can charge devices even if they are in motion. You can connect it to any AI assistant very easily. It’s a bit heavy but portable.

TARGET CUSTOMERS

The product targets everyone who uses a smart device and makes their life easier by getting rid of all the cables and starting charging their devices via air. Since it uses quite a lot of things to make sure it works as intended it might be a bit expensive.

FEATURES AND TECH

1. Detection of devices

It can detect any chargeable device very accurately in a certain region via the antennas attached to it. Even if the device is in motion, it can detect exactly where the device is.

2. Sending magnetic waves

It can send magnetic waves directly to all the devices present in its region at the same time.

PRODUCT PRICING

The expense of developing the innovation and uniting every one of the parts to a prepared to-utilize item i.e the creation cost has a major part in deciding the item cost.

Also, a rich human asset includes some significant downfalls. The add up to be paid to the representatives, individuals who endeavor to make it a superior item likewise contributes to the item estimating.
Finally, removing the benefit, negligible yet fundamental and adequate to run things easily.

We remember to make the item reasonable for all. After all computations, the anticipated cost of it at the hour of dispatch will be around ₹69,999 (subjected to change according to the response in the future).

MARKETING

Advertising plays an immense part in concluding whether the item is a triumph or a fall flat. Along these lines, it is an unquestionable requirement to have an incredible promoting plan in hand.
Some of the methods I am planning to use are:
1. TV and newspaper ads
2. social media
3. organizing events
4. posters

RISK ANALYSIS

Even before putting down the foundation of one’s startup, it is crucial to analyze the risk factors and take measures to minimize them.

1. Competition Risk

A lot of companies are trying to develop their air chargers and are very close to completing them which will increase competition and can result in loss of customers.

2. Malfunctionality

The biggest risk in any tech startup or product is its functionality. even a minor bug or error can result in the malfunctioning of the product.

3. Investment Risk

One of the major risks is an investment. It is important to have sufficient capital to keep the business moving until it begins returning benefits. What’s more, since I am a non-acquiring school undergrad, it would be really difficult for me to pay special attention to financial backers. Along these lines, leading launch missions to draw in financial backers would be an extraordinary drive.

CONCLUSION

“Charge multiple devices simultaneously while you’re gaming, walking around, or even when something’s in the way, no strings attached”.

The air charger is another giant leap forward in wireless charging technology! Soon our living room devices, including speakers, desk lamps, and other small smart home products, will all be based upon a wireless power supply design, completely free of wires, making our living rooms truly wireless.
