01
Bidirectional by design
Receive from a primary source while transmitting power onward to a device.
Wireless power innovation
Daniel Benjamin Jakubowski’s focused patent portfolio advances wireless charging from a one-way connection into an intelligent, modular flow of power.
The core innovation
Dual-coil and dual-transceiver systems that enable simultaneous wireless power reception and transmission—turning a charger into an adaptable link in a broader power network.
Founded by Daniel Jakubowski, Power Forward, LLC owns the portfolio. Its inventions support portable chargers with onboard batteries, programmable protocols, RFID-style interrogation, and modular multi-housing systems with orientation-aware control and flexible power-sharing connections.
01
Receive from a primary source while transmitting power onward to a device.
02
Select protocols, identify nearby devices, and respond to orientation in real time.
03
Stack or link modular housings to share stored energy wherever it is needed.
