New gadgets are starting to come off the assembly line faster than they can be  acknowledged. This gadget however is a breakthrough. The people from WildCharge came up with a very interesting and useful device. They call it the Wild Charger. It is a pad that you can place various gadgets on to charge.This device works on the basic principal that if two conductive objects meet, current can pass through them. No wires, no untangling, no mess. In order to do this your gadget has to be outfitted with the WildCharger  hardware.The hardware basically consists of a backing you put on the device that has contact pads on it. After that you just set it on the conductive pad and let it charge. With adapters for many devices this is a good buy for any techie. Check it out here.

Patrick Servello

Patrick Servello is one of the several new writers picked to write for Hacked Gadgets, we welcome him and expect some good material. Patrick is currently in the schooling process and plans on attending MIT to major in Software Engineering or Electrical Engineering. Patrick plans on going into the IT Security field as a career. He also has his own small home based computer repair and networking business. Patrick has an enormous amount of hobbies, some of these include programming, whether it is an application or a program designed for a robotics platform. Patrick is very into the IT Security scene, he has found vulnerabilities on popular websites such as Myspace.com and NYtimes.com. He loves helping individuals secure their networks and teach them how to be safe. Automotive technology is also a big thing for him, he loves tinkering with engines trying to make them more efficient. He wants to help develop alternate fuel powered cars, several plans have been made by him and a few colleagues to try to design a more efficient vehicle. You also can't forget electronics, this is what brought him to this website. As Pat likes to say, he is a knowledge sponge, he soaks up everything he can. To do this he reads a vast amount of literature, everything from books on philosophy, to books about different religions. One of his favorite books is "A Brief History In Time" written by Stephan Hawking. Along with reading literature Patrick likes to write himself. He is a writer in the local newspaper and has one several writing and poetry competitions. He has also published some tutorials online about various subjects. Patrick Servello started his electronic lifestyle around the age of 13, he just started tinkering with some electronic devices and found out he could make them work differently, maybe even more efficiently. Shortly after Patrick got into the computer security scene also, this fueled his need to learn more about electronics. Embedded software in electronics can be just as vulnerable to attack as web based software. Patrick currently doesn't have his personal website online, however is working on it.

  1. i do not think this way of charging is safe because almost every devise has memory/hdd
    hdd uses magnetic energe to write data on the disk and this Gadget Chargerdevise uses magnetic
    energe to i do not recomand such devises

    sorry for bad sperling


  2. I love this pad idea for charging gadgets (wish I had one). I don’t think any gadgets would have any problems with this since it is not charging using inductive coupling it just allows for new contacts on the back of your device to mate with the power strips on the pad. This would be the same as you plugging your iPod into the charger and then allowing the power cord to lay across the back of the device.


  3. I’ve seen many of these types of devices.
    It’s nice to see one for so cheap.

    Probably wouldn’t be difficult to do a little modification to make this charge pretty much anything that can charge via USB, like the Razor does.


  4. Come to think of it, I may just make one of these myself.



  6. I have seen these ideas for about 10 years now–and they always say “Coming soon!”

    I will believe it when I have it in my hands.



  8. Induction charging and induction principles of electricity are gaining ground, but I think people who really tinker with it will be the ones who push to into the mainstream permanently. Tesla had it right all along, it just took a wider minded world to accept the concept.


  9. As Alan Parekh said, this doesn’t use induction, you attach a pad with contacts to your device and lay it on the charger which also has exposed contacts. So I don’t think it is completely accurate to call it wireless charging. I hope they have some sort of safety features in case someone puts their keys or something on it.


  10. The only problem I have with this is the fact that I often will use objects while they are charging…


  11. hey
    where can i buy, i live in Sydney, Au
    pls tell me tks
