I always wondered what would happen…
Comment on Break science with this one weird trick

I once charged my phone by holding it over an induction cooktop. Only for a couple of seconds though as I was afraid to fry my phone, but it did it over 40cm

You’re welcome, now you don’t need to risk your own phone in order to know :p

That’s actually kind of valid. Though, the induced voltage might be a lot more than phones can typically handle via wireless charging.
Not recommended, however, induction cooktops and wireless charging are the same underlying technology.
I wouldn’t gamble that the phone has sufficient over voltage protections on the wireless charging to survive. YMMV.

Yeah, I had the exact same thoughts about the risk to the phone, but curiosity got the best of me. The phone worked fine for several years afterwards so no harm done.
