WIRELESS POWER
Transmission of energy through the air.
Process of transferring electric energy or
power over distance without wires.
Also known as WiTricity and Wirelss
Power Transmission.
Eliminates the use of cables for transmission
of power.

History of Wireless Power

In 1899,Sir Nikola
Tesla proposed a
method of Wireless
Power Transmission.
Tesla enlighten 200
lamps at the distance
of 40 km. But only
15% efficiency was
achieved.
As it is in Radiative
mode , most of the
Power was wasted and
has less efficiency.

The Forgotten Invention is reborn

in 2007
A group of
engineers at MIT
came up with the
idea to use resonant
induction to transmit
power wirelessly.
MIT powered 60
watt light bulb from
2 mts (7 ft) at 40%
efficiency.
First practical
example of Witricity.

How Wireless Power

Works?

1.Magnetic coil is
housed in a box and can
be set in wall or ceiling.
2.Antenna A, powered
by mains ,resonates at a
specific frequency.
3. Electromagnetic
waves transmitted
through the air.
4. Second magnetic coil
(Antenna B) fitted in
laptop/TV etc resonates
at same frequency as
first coil and absorbs
energy.
Energy charges the
device.

System Description

Working Principle

One Simple Physics rule !

At source : Electricity => Magnetic Wave
At Device : Magnetic Wave => Electricity

WIRE. A BURDEN..

Batteries can
be charged , it
is just enough
to place the
device to top of
one of these
surfaces

WPT makes products:

More Convenient:
no manual recharging
or changing batteries.
Eliminate unsightly ,
unwieldy and costly
power cords.
More Reliable
never run out of
battery power.
Reduces product
failure rates by fixing
the weakest link.

Advantages
Safe ,fairly efficient ,good range.
Getting rid of great deal of cables !
More secure , no risk of getting
shocked.
Placed where you cannot have
physically cable ,solution wiTricity
No wires.
Need for battery is eliminated.
Ewaste is eliminated.

Disadvantages
wireless power transmission can be
possible only in few meters.
Efficiency is only about 40%.
Need for standardization and
adaptation. So a little over heating
occurs because of different voltages.
Refitting old equipment or
purchasing new equipment could
become a very expensive endeavor.
Possibility of energy theft.

HOW SAFE IS WITRICITY

Human beings or other objects
placed before the transmitter and
receiver do not hinder
transmission of power.
Magnetic fields tend to interact
very weakly with the biological
tissues of the body, and so are
not prone to cause any damage
to any living beings.

Conclusion
Think

that the
city will be
covered with
WPT hotspots
,just like wireless
internet there
will be no need
of charging
batteries, or
carrying
adapters all
around.
