Nokia Lumia 925: Taming the Lightning, or Thor's Smartphone
As you remember, we were one of the first to bet on wireless charging by introducing the Qi industry standard into the main novelty of 2012 - the Lumia 920. Since then, all our top products support wireless charging in one way or another.
As part of the weekend post, we would like to share with you the first results of the collaboration of our researchers and scientists at the University of Southampton, who jointly tried to charge Nokia Lumia 925 (in the comments on the video on YouTube it was called the “Thor's smartphone”) using artificial lightning. Shooting, by the way, was conducted on Nokia Lumia 1020:

Neil Palmer, a scientist from the University of Southampton, took part in the project. Under his leadership, an experiment on charging Nokia Lumia 925 was held in one of the leading laboratories in the world for working with high voltage.
“We were delighted with the challenge Nokia gave us,” explains Neil. - Using alternating current from the transformer, we send more than 200,000 volts through a gap of 300 mm and get heat and light, similar to lightning. The signal enters the second transformer, which allows you to charge the phone. "
What happened next was unexpected, even for scientists. Neil adds:
“We were amazed to see that Nokia’s circuitry somehow stabilized the signal with noises, which allowed the battery to charge for only a few seconds. This discovery proves that the device can be charged with current that passes through the air, and this is a huge step towards understanding such natural power as lightning and using its energy. "
“This is the first time a mobile phone maker has experienced this kind of technology,” said Chris Weber, executive vice president of sales and marketing. - Of course, we do not recommend people to repeat this experiment at home, but we are always looking for opportunities to break down and push the existing boundaries of technology and find innovative ways to improve the efficiency of our products. As one of the first companies to include wireless charging in our products, we believe that this experiment has the potential that will push the emergence of new ideas for charging our phones in the future. ”
Attention! This experiment was conducted under the strict control and guidance of scientists from the University of Southampton in the high-voltage laboratory and should not under any circumstances be repeated under normal conditions.
