The TESLA Radiator was designed by Vincent Gobin to act as both a [home heater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jet-focus) and a wireless gadget charger. The TESLA Radiator uses a portion of the heat it creates to charge thermo-electric batteries which can then be used to power small electronic gadgets like phones, MP3 players and similar gadgets...via electromagnetic induction. This concept is one I see becoming a reality quicker than most due to the rising popularity of both [wireless gadget chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humidifier-and-wireless-charger) and clean energy. Removing all small electronics from the grid won't save the world, but it will cut down your monthly electric bill and make the world a slightly greener place. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wireless Heating:** The TESLA Radiator combines home heating with wireless gadget charging, presenting opportunities for future products that combine multiple functionalities. - **Thermo-electric Batteries:** The use of thermo-electric batteries to power electronics presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in energy storage and consumer electronics. - **Green Energy Gadgets:** The TESLA Radiator's ability to both warm homes and charge electronics presents opportunities for green energy solutions that enhance daily living experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Technology:** The TESLA Radiator's wireless gadget charging and home heating capabilities align with the smart home industry, offering opportunities for new product development in this space. - **Renewable Energy:** The TESLA Radiator's use of thermo-electric batteries and focus on clean energy align with the renewable energy industry and present opportunities for further innovation in this field. - **Consumer Electronics:** The TESLA Radiator's ability to wirelessly charge electronics presents opportunities for innovation in consumer electronics and the integration of multiple functionalities into devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Wireless Charging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-platform.md) - [Electric Infrared Wall Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boldr-kelvin.md) - [Anti-Radiation Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radiationblocking-charger.md) - [Design-Conscious Connected Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-heater.md) - [Wireless Charging Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-powers.md) - [Fabric Heating Concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moritz-walter.md) - [Space-Saving Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magepan-magnetic-wireless-charger.md) - [Design-Conscious Space Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-heater.md) - [Power Bank Cup Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-warmer.md)
