He’s the driving force behind the development and success of Fulton Innovation, leading a team of scientists who work with various industry partners to bring eCoupled intelligent wireless power technology to market and into the hands of consumers.
Dave just returned from SXSW, the popular music, film and interactive conference in Austin, Texas. There, he and Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium, hosted a panel called Juice without Wires.
Instead of words, technology did the talking. Dave used a wirelessly powered skillet and blender to sizzle sausages and mix margaritas to wow this technology-hungry audience. Check out the videos presented at SXSW below.
Their prediction? In the future, wireless power will be integrated into chargeable surfaces that can power a wide range of products, across a variety of power levels – from cars and stove tops, to tablet computers and mobile phones.
We look forward to the next round of wireless power capabilities.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January is where people find out what’s hot, what’s new and what’s next.
The DIY Network on December 28 and 30 is looking back at the “cool tools” showcased at the 2011 CES – including our own Fulton InnovationeCoupled wireless power technology.
But if you want to preview what’s new for 2012, check out eCoupled CES preview here or by watching the video below. It shows how the applications of wireless power have gone from cool to coolest.

Thanks to the Best in Biz for recognizing one of our best.
Conference presenters are selected partially by popular vote through SXSW’s “Panel Picker.” So if you’d like to see Fulton present about the future of wireless during this interactive, film and music festival, just click here. Choose the “thumbs up” sign to let organizers know you think Fulton’s “Juice without Wires” presentation is an “idea that rocks.”
But if you want to see wireless power at work a bit sooner, this video shows how eCoupled powers everything from appliances to technology.
We’re making room in the awards case after an Amway leader and technology were honored by two separate organizations in the same city on the same day.
First, Amway Chief Marketing Officer Candace Matthews was honored as one of Advertising Age’s “Women to Watch” for 2011 at an event August 10 in New York,
When our Fulton Innovation division developed eCoupled intelligent wireless power, it gave consumers the opportunity to cut the cord with wireless charging for everything from lamps and laptops to Teslas and toasters.
eCoupled just announced updated features and functionality which bring new applications of wireless power to consumer devices, surfaces and environments. Like greater spatial freedom, taking the Qi wireless power standard beyond a portable charging pad to seemingly impenetrable surfaces like granite. Or the ability to transfer data along with power.
“To totally remove power cords from our lives, we need additional options and flexibility and freedom for wireless power solutions,” said Dave Baarman, director of advanced technologies at Fulton Innovation. “Consumers want the convenience that wirelessly powered devices provide, with more flexibility for where and how they can use them.”
Like cutting the cord and being able to charge their computers and cell phones from their kitchen countertop. Even if it’s made from solid granite.
That’s because the eCoupled exhibit at CES featured applications of wireless power in the kitchen, where the technology can create a shopping list based on what’s on the cupboard shelves and even heat the soup you bought for dinner. In its packaging.
Not hot enough for you? How about a wirelessly powered car? eCoupled’s CES display featured a Tesla that was powered by a charging mat that could be installed in a garage or carport.
