    Or, barring that, at least read the first few comments.

    No energy is "blasted" anywhere. It's a pad with a zillion tiny connectors that you set your phone on. Pretty stupid, really.

    However, for the hypothetical Tesla-coil ish "blaster" to recharge your phone, all you need to do would be to make the charger smarter, like via bluetooth - if there's no phone nearby, turn off.
