Abstract:
A computing device may include a first housing attached to a second housing by one or more hinges. A second power transceiver in the second housing may receive power from a power source and wirelessly transmit the power to a first power transceiver in the first housing. The first power transceiver may distribute the power to a first display device and to a computer motherboard located in the first housing. The first power transceiver may include first magnets positioned to attract second magnets in the second power transceiver. Each power transceiver may include a bearing on either end that enables each power transceiver to rotate, such that a first coil of the first power transceiver is in a line of sight of a second coil of the second power transceiver, regardless of an orientation of the computing device.
