Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to buy any additional hardware to charge my car or other devices?

• The additional hardware required for NFD's wireless power to charge your car is lightweight and low-cost compared to competing wireless power technologies and within reach of consumers.
• NFDs wireless power transmission stations will safely and effectively transmit energy over the air to your cars battery.
• As long as you are within about one kilometer range of one or more of NFDs transmission towers, we'll ambiently charge your cars battery for free.

Is it safe?

• NFD's vehicle recharging is inherently human safe and does not require a safety system to turn off the beam.  A human can be exposed to the main beam of energy without being exposed to energy beyond established safety limits.
• Exposure similar to exposure from power lines
• Meets government safety requirements (U.S. & Europe)

Why hasn't it been done before?

Wireless power transfer has been known for more than 50 years but has never been optimized, until now.

Long range and efficient wireless power has been known since the 1960s but has always been impractical. In order to transmit enough energy to power electric cars you would need a transmitter antennae 2 kilometers wide for 80% efficiency at 100 kilometers. With NFDs antenna technology, antennas of this size will be unnecessary.

Key Differentiations

• NFD's wireless power quantity (power * efficiency) is 4000 times better at 100 times the distance versus our nearest competitor, EMROD.
• Our product also has 5 times the maximum power, 500 thousand times the maximum range, 8 trillion times the efficiency at 1000m, and 40 trillion times the power quantity of Witricity's wireless power product.

Competition

• NFD is on course to achieve antenna miniturization factor of over 1000 times. This means our energy transmission antennas will be 1000 times smaller than those from 2005.
• Our antennas will be over 5 times smaller than Resideo antennas.
• In 2024, Chris Davlantes (CEO of Reach Power) said that within 10 years, people will be able to wirelessly supercharge electric vehicles as they drive down the road.
