Proposal This project will consist of a scalable box or
drawer in which small hand-held devices or toys can be placed and wirelessly charged.
The box will require only an external source of power in order to be able to charge the devices.
The devices will perform all RF harvesting and charging automatically without user input.
The user simply opens the lid, places the devices inside, and shuts the lid. The devices do the rest.

Purpose The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the
feasibility of scalable, commercially viable wireless charging.
It will be shown that any device is capable of being integrated with this technology and can be charged wirelessly in any station.o These stations can be placed in any household,
business, hotel room, etc. and can be of varying size.

Ben KaslonPower Transmit Circuit Risks
Efficiency of the designed power amplifier too lowo If we are unable to design a sufficiently efficient
amplifier, a COTS amplifier will have to be usedo Ideally want 90% but will accept 50%
Design of the antenna does not match the simulations.o New simulations will have to be done with different,
more predictable substrates
Non-uniform field distribution in the cavityo Need to try a new modulation scheme

Manufacturability Main concern of the system is to ensure minimum
leak of RF power in compliance with FCC regulations
It will be easy to see if this project is working or not. Either the battery on the device will be charged or it will not
Component tolerances will not affect the design, apart from negligible detractions from system efficiency
![Page 46: Team Watts in the Box Presents… TeslaBox](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816468550346895dd654d9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Devin CallahanEnvironmental Considerations
Leaked power is chief concern o The system must abide by FCC regulations by emitting
no stray powero Also relates to overall efficiency
No other environmental concerns
![Page 47: Team Watts in the Box Presents… TeslaBox](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816468550346895dd654d9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Safety This system exhibits zero risk to the environment
or the population so long as all RF energy is kept within the box
A standard 120VAC outlet plug will eventually be used
