3. What is it?
Based on electromagnetic induction (using conductive
materials in coils to create a magnetic field)
Resonant Magnetic Coupling: when two objects exchange
energy through their varying or oscillating magnetic fields.
-Natural frequencies of the two objects are approximately
the same.

4. HOWWIRELESSPOWERWORKS:-
1. Magnetic coil (Antenna A) 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.
5. Energy charges the device.
5. InLayperson’s Terms
Wireless electricity is the transfer of power to a
device over the air.
—
It will allow devices to be powered or charged (with the
proper wireless attachments) without being plugged into
a wall outlet or docked in a charging station.
6. HowIt Will Be Used
Wireless electricity can be used to power or recharge:
Cell Phones
TVs
Computers
Electric Cars
Cordless Tools
Industrial Machinery
Medical Devices (pacemakers, etc.)
Military Devices (unmanned robots, planes)
Consumer Appliances
ANYTHING ELECTRIC!
7. Future Uses In Business
More Efficient Office Buildings/Factories
Entire office buildings will run on wireless electricity
Employees computers, cell phones, printers will all stay
charged throughout the business day
Electric appliances will not have to be placed around
power outlets; running cords is no longer a hassle
8. Current Uses
Wireless charging pads
Electric Toothbrushes:
Both of these techniques use small electric fields to
charge the devices.
Haier America Digital Products group has already
developed a HDTV that transmits electricity and the
HD signal, making the TV completely wireless
9. Benefits
More Reliable/Less Costly
- Never run out of battery power in wireless zones
- Power transfers more efficiently than through wires
More Convenient
- No more changing batteries
- No messy cords
Environmentally Friendly
- Reduces the use of disposable batteries
- Reduces energy loss
10. LIMITATION
The resonance condition should be satisfied and if
any error exists, there is no possibility of power
transfer.
Any possibility of very strong ferromagnetic
material presence causes low power transfer due
to radiation.
11. Cost?
Cost is still undetermined.
What they say is there are no exotic materials being
used that would make it overly expensive.
Prices should be comparable to products already out.
12. CONCLUSION
The optimal regime of efficient power transfer is Strongly
coupled regime.
High κ/Γ ratio gives high power output. For no changes
in κ/Γ ratio, there is no change in power transfer.
After designed the parameters with FEFD method and
simulating for the κ/Γ ratio changes with and without
the external objects, we can conclude that there is no
large variation in κ/Γ ratio.
