Klik | The Universal Adapter

I was very intrigued by the appearance of this new port on new devices such as the 2016 MacBook Pro as well as the Google Pixel Phone. Making something useful for USB-C has been my goal ever since those devices came out.

I want to create a Universal Magnetic Adapter that automatically works with your personal cable to provide equally fast charging and affordable to the average consumer.

My goal is for a person to carry one cable to charge all devices on them.

This adapter will be compatible with:

Phones

Laptops

Monitors

Other USB-C Devices

Rendered 3D USB-C Design Concept:

USB-C Male to Magnet Connector. This will go into the actual device to be powered.

These models were created using Blender Open Source 3D modeling software as well as utilizing the receptacle models from open source website, GrabCad.com.

Other 3D renders will come soon for Lightning as well as micro usb.

This is footage of the working prototype. This is very bulky currently. But my goal is the reduce the size of the adapter dramatically. The application is "Ampere" for android.

What Next?

This prototype is not in the final phase at all. It is still in the beginning stage and what is left is:
