Experts Still Think UBeam’s Through-The-Air Charging Tech Is Unlikely
Well, either it works or it doesn&#x27;t. What&#x27;s there to talk about? It&#x27;s not that they&#x27;re doing rocket science.<p>&gt; <i>&quot;But even amid a tidal wave of publicity, the company has never publicly demonstrated a fully functioning prototype of its system.&quot;</i><p>This is what I don&#x27;t get - how the hell did they manage to get investors? I mean, ultrasound charging isn&#x27;t magic, anyone who knows their stuff around EE should be able to throw together in a month a simple prototype of the tech to show to the investors. That is, a prototype that actually charges a phone, not this[0] which a) doesn&#x27;t really charge the phone, and b) seems to be geared towards confusing people clueless about electricity. The fact that they didn&#x27;t, after 4 years, produce anything suggests that they don&#x27;t even have anyone on board who knows this stuff, so why are they getting money?<p>Seriously, I think I&#x27;m gonna plug my IRC bot to TTS and go raise money for my AGI startup.<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RoHxyweJcZI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RoHxyweJcZI</a>
