They use magnetic fields to wireless transfer of energy. Yes, they do not transfer electricity, but they do convert to magnetism, then convert back to electricity inside the receiving item. Sure, it takes up more space, but most electronics get smaller with time. Can’t they use the same mechanism as electric toothbrushes? They use magnetic fields to wireless transfer of energy.

Stand by for a better idea from our direction... -HK Dear FB,

Then anybody can copy the system and/or make adapters. Let's see how that *sliding* contact setup does in fine sand. It can only be proprietary until release.

What kind of protection other then the rail cover to protect the circuit? Hopefully, the accessories won't be proprietary. I wonder how durable the system will be.
