Abstract
A modular charging unit that allows efficient charging of a rechargeable battery with a charging station and during use away from the charging system uses ambient energy to extend battery life of the device.
Claims20
A mobile charging system comprising:
- a charging station including a photon output cell having a plurality of photon transmitters wherein at least two of said photon transmitters provide photons at different primary wavelengths and wherein said charging station maximizes the output of a photon transmitter at a desired wavelength while minimizing the photon output of photon transmitters at different wavelengths;
- a charge receiver capable of receiving photons from said charging station;
- and
- a communication device having a first portion located on said charging station and a second portion on said charge receiver, said first and second portions in communication regarding the status of one of the charge receiver and charging station.
