But it gets very hot
Apple changed its mind about releasing the AirPower charging station a long time ago. However, stories about this product continue to appear on the Internet from time to time. For example, an enthusiast managed to get AirPower to work.
Blogger and Apple Demo engineer showed (video available at the link below) how his AirPower unit works and charges the Apple Watch. More precisely, a prototype of Watch Series 4. The author added that the charger gets very hot, but, unfortunately, does not specify how the station was made to work.
Additionally, it's unclear whether AirPower can charge two or three Apple devices simultaneously, as originally intended.

It’s amazing that Apple Watch charging works, given wireless chargers today generally can’t charge Apple Watches. However, the Apple Watch on AirPower gets quite warm. #appleinternal pic.twitter.com/GfywG3KZS9

Recall that extreme heat was reportedly one of the main reasons for the cancellation of AirPower development.
