DIY Qi Wireless Charging Nightstand (cheap, quick and easy)

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



https://www.facebook.com/mattiasburlingYT My channel has moved, you will find it here, https://www.youtube.com/user/mattiasburling Charge your Nexus 4, Lumia 920, or any other device that supports Qi on top of your night stand. It only took about 1 hour and 45 minutes to build using some cheap tools. You could use almost any type of night stand but this one is from IKEA and therefore sold world wide and it comes in many colors. After I published the video I received so many questions that I did a followup video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nbPv1eDN74 There are a number of methods to do this but I wanted to keep it as simple and quick as possible. You can take it to the next level by just carving around the charger and then drill a hole for the cable to run through. If you don't want to place it like I did so that it is supported by the bottom part of the nightstand just put a peace of sheet metal or something to hold it up instead.

  1. A router (woodworking kind, not the network kind) would have been quicker.
  2. Can you do one with the Samsung round chargers?
  3. Cheap?? NO... quick and easy? yes
  4. das ist ja mal eine super idee, aber ob das dann mit einer schutzhülle am telefon auch noch geht, wäre auszuprobieren.
  5. Wouldn't the wireless charger induce a small current in the metallic rack on which the drawer slides, so it would consume some small power while joule heating the rack itself?
  6. i dont think you really needed to spend so much time on post production just to show that you carved a hole in a desk.
  7. Just so everyone knows, IKEA now sells night stands and lamps with Qi wireless charging built in!
  8. u mess up the niight stand..........
