Mojo Mobility calls the technology NFP for Near Field Power, but you might understand it better if I say that this non-contact charging system utilizes the electromagnetic induction principle. Simply speaking, you'd only have to place your gadget on that pad above and it will charge like you had really plugged it in.


"Today, each family owns a number of mobile devices, and rooms are a mess of charger cables," said Afshin Partovi, CEO of Mojo Mobility. "Using our technology, charger cables of multiple devices can be replaced with one single sheet."

The NFP pad is based on two modules; one for transmitting energy and one for receiving (image below). Current prototype is able to produce 2.5W to 4W of power and can charge small devices like mobile phones, music players and headsets simultaneously. For now, the efficiency of the prototype's electric transmission is 70 percent. Mojo Mobility is currently marketing the induction charging modules to manufacturers, envisioning them to be embedded in Li-ION batteries.
