3. Computers, cell phones, laptops, iPods, etc.
are all used by many of us in our daily lives.
These devices have become an inherent part
of our day-to-day lives.
But charging all these appliances has become
so very cumbersome. Each appliance has its
own set of chargers, and with every family
member owning their cell phones, the
drawers are overflowing with all sorts of
wires.
How many times have you wished if there
could be some way to do away with all the
wiry litter?
The answer is WiTricity
4. •WiTricity is nothing but wireless electricity.
Transmission of electrical energy from one
object to another without the use of wires is
called as WiTricity.
•WiTricity will ensure that the cell phones,
laptops, and other power hungry devices get
charged on their own, eliminating the need of
plugging them in.
•Even better, because of WiTricity some of the
devices won't require batteries to operate.
5. The term WiTricity was used for a project that
took place at MIT, led by Marin Soljačić in 2007.
Researchers successfully demonstrated the ability
to power a 60 watt light bulb wirelessly, using two
5-turn copper coils of 60 cm (24 in) diameter, that
were 2 m (7 ft) away, at roughly 45% efficiency.
The coils were designed to resonate together at
9.9 MHz (wavelength ≈ 30 m) and were oriented
along the same axis. One was connected
inductively to a power source, and the other one
to a bulb.
The setup powered the bulb on, even when the
direct line of sight was blocked using a wooden
panel.
Researchers were able to power a 60 watt light
bulb at roughly 90% efficiency at a distance of 3
feet. The research project was spun off into a
private company, also called WiTricity.
7. Based on strong coupling between
electromagnetic resonant objects also called
“Resonant Magnetic Coupling”
Transmitter and receiver coils oscillate or
“resonate” at the same “frequency”.
Resonant frequency is the natural frequency of
an object.
8. •Two resonant c/ts - Transmitter & Receiver.
•Each circuit has a coil of wire connected to a capacitor, or
a self-resonant coil or other resonator with internal
capacitance.
•Two are TUNED to resonate at the same resonant frequency.

11. Advantages :-
•Charging multiple devices.
•Environmentally &
Economically beneficial as
it could drastically reduce 6
billion batteries disposed of
each year which is a major
cause of ground water
contamination.
Disadvantages:-
•High initial cost.
•Slow.
•Distance constraint.
•Near field method
12. Electronic portable devices such as laptops
and cell phones can be easily charged.
Wireless charging of electric
vehicles using MPT
Wireless charging of wearables
such as headphones, watches
etc.
14. Qi (pronounced CHEE ) -Chinese
word meaning “natural energy”
An interface standard developed
by the Wireless Power
Consortium for inductive
electrical power transfer over
distances of up to 4 cm (1.6
inches).
The Qi system comprises a power
transmission pad and a
compatible receiver in a portable
device.
To use the system, the mobile
device is placed on top of the
power transmission pad, which
charges it via resonant inductive
coupling.

charger for it’s Nokia
Lumia 920 in 2012 which
uses Qi wireless charging
standard
16. • Transmission without wires- a reality.
• Efficient.
• Low maintenance cost. But, high initial cost.
• Better than conventional wired transfer.
• Energy crisis can be decreased.
• Low loss .
• In near future, world will be completely
wireless.

When you are on the way to work and your cellphone beeps in hunger for a battery charge, haven't you wished for your cellphone battery to get 'self charged'.

MPT- microwave Power Transfer
Microwave- An artist's depiction of a solar satellite that could send electric energy by microwaves to a space vessel or planetary surface.
Laser- With a laser beam centered on its panel of photovoltaic cells, a lightweight model plane makes the first flight of an aircraft powered by a laser beam inside a building at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
