They are located in three different planes and allow you to charge gadgets at a distance of about 50 cm At this distance, the developers promise to take the charge capacity of 2 watts. When approaching the source power increases and power: at a distance of 40 centimeters smartphones charged from 4 watts, and at 13 inches 10 watts.
