In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Charles Goetz, CEO of Powercast, to discuss the future of wireless power. Charles shares how Powercast’s patented RF technology is changing the way we think about batteries, sustainability, and powering devices at a distance. From industrial sensors to consumer electronics, discover how a truly wireless world is becoming reality—and what it means for innovation, sustainability, and the edge of AI.   Key Takeaways: RF Wireless Power Enables True Wireless Charging [11:35]Powercast’s technology captures radio frequency (RF) energy from the air and converts it into usable power, enabling devices to be charged at distances up to 80 feet and beyond. Sustainability: Reducing Battery Waste [22:50]Billions of batteries end up in landfills each year. Powercast’s RF technology can eliminate or reduce the need for disposable batteries, as seen in Samsung’s TV remotes, which will keep 700 million batteries out of landfills over 10 years. RF Power is a Game-Changer for IoT and Edge Devices [27:46]As AI and IoT expand, the need for power at the edge grows. RF wireless power enables small, distributed devices to operate sustainably without frequent battery changes. The Future is Seamless, Not Plugged In [18:18]The vision is a world where “our stuff takes care of us”—devices are always powered, connected, and require less maintenance from users.   Quote of the Show [18:18]:“Instead of us spending so much time taking care of our stuff, our stuff is just going to seamlessly take care of us. And that’s going to be very cool and very powerful.”- Charles Goetz   Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.
