And to power our electronic devices we buy:

40 million disposable batteries/yr !

History of wireless power

• In 1899, Sir Nikola Tesla Proposed a method of Wireless Power Transmission.

• As it is in Radiative mode, most of the Power was wasted and has less efficiency.

A group of engineers at MIT came up with the idea to use resonant induction to transmit power wirelessly.

The forgotten invention is reborn in 2007

Ways of Transmission

Near field 1. Induction

2. Resonant induction

Far field 1. Radio and microwave transmission

2. Laser

Basics

Witricity Basics

SCEM DEPT OF EC 9

Witricity BasicsResonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others.

Two conductors are mutual-inductively coupled when they are configured such that change in current flow through one wire induces a voltage across the ends of the other wire through electromagnetic induction.

Basic Principle of Resonant Induction The basic principle involved in Witricity concept is two

coils having same resonating frequency tend to exchange maximum energy.

The Secondary Coil:

•This circuit is one of the simplest you can ever create.

•It is composed of magnet wire coil but smaller than the primary, a capacitor also like the primary, and some leads you can attach things like LED.

Disadvantages of Resonant Wireless electricity:

19

Distance constraint

Initial cost is high

In RIC, tuning is difficult

High frequency signals must be the supply

How Safe is Witricity?

Human beings or other objects placed between the transmitter and receiver do not hinder the 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.
