What I'd like to know here is if this setup is continuously drawing maximum power or if the power usage only goes up when a device is within the magnetic grid.
it does say on the site for the device that it draws 100W, but in the video he says that there is a 10W minimum draw, so i'm assuming it goes up from there
The power draw will go up when a device is drawing power from it, but there will be base/idle draw of course as well.
And what their power efficiency is. Last time I checked they were at 60% but I'm wildly outdated on these things.
