Slice 4 – 🧲 Perpetual Power System
The Perpetual Power System, mentioned in the podcast, represents a novel approach to powering wearable technology. This system, described during the discussion of the Humane AI pin, is based on magnetic charging. Essentially, it is a way to continuously power a device while it's being worn, without the need for removing it for charging. This method utilizes a magnet that not only serves as the mechanism for attaching the device to clothing but also facilitates wireless charging.
Such a system is particularly innovative in the realm of wearable technology, where battery life and the convenience of charging are significant concerns. By integrating the charging mechanism into the way the device is worn (using magnets), it offers a seamless and user-friendly solution. The magnetic aspect not only ensures a secure attachment to the garment but also enables efficient energy transfer, ensuring that the device remains charged and functional throughout its use. This approach reflects a growing trend in tech design, focusing on user convenience and the integration of technology into everyday life in an unobtrusive manner.
