The device is based on inductive connection technology similar to wireless charging systems for smartphones. Power Mole consists of a transmitter that attaches to the inside surface of the window glass and a receiver that must be attached to the outside of the window. The transmitter must be connected to a home outlet, and the receiver must be connected to an external device via a USB cable.
After connecting the device, an alternating current passes through the induction coil in the transmitter, which creates an alternating magnetic field passing through the glass and creates a current in the induction coil of the receiver. Alternating current is converted to direct current and is sufficient to power outdoor equipment (surveillance cameras, lamps, decorative lighting, etc.).
At the same time, the efficiency of the “wireless socket” varies between 50-75% depending on the distance of the infected device: minimum – 6 mm, maximum – 30 mm. Power Mole can conduct current not only through glass but also through any non-metallic material, including wood, and when connected through metal the device automatically turns off.
The gadget costs $59 on Kicktstarter. The device comes with a complete transmitter, receiver, power cable, as well as special adhesive pads for the transmitter and receiver.
