Through a bespoke conductive lamination process, ElectroglaZ technology delivers power to any point across a glass surface without the use of wires. The glass is formed by multiple layers separated by a transparent insulator; these layers work in tandem to form a complete circuit. Power can be delivered to almost any low-power application under 50 […]
