The RCA AirPower is the most amazing idea I have seen in some time. The AirPower is a [charger that runs off of Wi-Fi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-7-travel-router). You heard right, it converts [Wi-Fi into battery power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-power1). My mind was blown as well.

The RCA AirPower doesn't need to be plugged into anything. Just let it sit or pass through anywhere near Wi-Fi and it'll start charging. To charge your device, simply plug it in with a [USB cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-power-bank). The RCA AirPower is sure to be a hit with on-the-go techies and business folk. I am neither, but I still want one.
