Re: How iPhone 8 could change the wireless charging landscape - CNET

I can't attest to the quality but Harbor Freight has a 5 watt solar charger for $40. The small cube AC converters are 5 watts (last I checked) so this should give a similar charge time in strong sun. https://www.harborfreight.com/5-watt-foldable-solar-panel-charger-60449.html CB On 8/10/17 11

Of course Tesla also like to talk to pigeons :) I assume the basic idea is that the phone becomes the secondary coil of a basic transformer setup and then needs to have some kind of internal rectifier to change the power back to DC. I always thought transformers and capacitors were heavy bulky
