4. Introduction
In 1891Tesla invented ac generator that provides our
light and electricity
“Nikola Tesla, the eccentric - and unbelievably under-rated -
genius known as the ‘wild man of electronics’, was without
doubt one of the greatest minds in the history of the human
Now in 2007 A team of US researchers has come up with
an electricity system that does not need wires
. The scientists, from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, a 60-watt light bulb using magnetic fields
In the test, the power source was just two meters away from
the light
5. Introduction……..
The team leader Marine solijacic and there member hopes
they will soon be able to send electricity longer distances
through the air. They have dubbed their new invention
“WiTricity”, or wireless electricity
6. what is witricity
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 cellphones, laptops, iPods
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
7. Principle of witricity
Consider two self resonating copper coils of same
resonating frequency with a diameter 20 inches each
One copper wire is connected to the power source
(Witricity transmitter), while the other copper wire is
connected to the device ( Witricity Receiver)
The electric power from the power source causes the
copper coil connected to it to start oscillating at a
particular (MHz) frequency
This is known as 'coupled resonance' and is the principle
behind Witricity
8. Methods used for power transmission
Two method
1.Induction coupling(inductive coupling)
The simplest example for wireless energy transfer using this
method is the electrical transformer
primary and secondary circuits are electrically isolated from
each other
A larger, stronger field can be used for energy transfer over
long distance, but this process is extremely inefficient
magnetic field spreads in all direction, making a large
wastage of energy
9. 2. Resonant induction
Electricity traveling along an electromagnetic wave can
tunnel from one coil to the other as long as the both have
the same resonant frequency
Similarly if two coils resonate at different frequencies
nothing will happen
By using resonant induction one coil can send electricity to
several receiving coils as long as they all resonate at same
frequency
10. Wireless Charging System
Transfer electric power to mobile nearby devices (less
than several meters) and charge batteries
12. Technical Trends

WiTricity-Haire
WiTricity, a spin-off company from MIT
Power transfer to Full HD TV in CES 2010
Intel
12W power transfer to notbook in 3feet
Receiver coils in the cover of notbook
Independent standardization activity on
100W wireless power transfer
Sony
Power transfer to 22 LCD TV 60W
Efficiency: about 80% 50cm
Charging distance increases by repeaters
13. Witricity electricity transfer
1) Power from mains to antenna, which is made of copper
2) Resonates 10MHz (electromagnetic waves)
3) Tunnel up to 2m (6.5ft)
4) Electricity received by antenna, also resonating at 10MHz.
5) Energy not transferred to laptop re-absorbed by source
antenna. People/other objects not affected as not resonating at
10MHz
14. Most common form of wireless power is carried out, using
electrodynamic induction , microwaves or lasers
15. 2 copper coils are setup-one at the ‘sender end’ and other at
the ‘receiving end’. The sender coil is attached to a power
source and the receiver is attached to a light bulb
When turned on, the sender coil emits electricity in the
form of magnetic field, oscillating at a specific freq
The receiver coils picks up the transmission while the rest
of the environment remains unaffected

17. Application
Witricity has a bright future in providing wireless
electricity
Some of the potential applications are pwering of cell
phones, laptops and other devices that normally run with
the help of batteries or plugging in wires
By the use of witricity there is no need of batteries or
remembering to recharge batteries periodically. If a source
is placed in each room to provide power supply to the
whole house
It would not interfere with radio waves and it is cheap and
efficient
18. Advantage of witricity
Transmission can be possible if there is any obstructions
like wood and metal, or other devices were placed in
between the transmitter and receiver
No need of power cables and batteries - Witricity replaces
the use of power cables and batteries
Does not interfere with radio waves
Wastage of power is small
the use of resonant coupling wave lengths produced are far
lower and thus make it harmless
20. Disadvantages
1. Wireless power transmission can be possible only in few
meters
2. Efficiency is only about 40%
As witricity is in development stage, lot of work is done for
improving the efficiency and distance between transmitter
and receiver
21. Conclusion
Witricity is in development stage, lots of work is to be done
to use it for wireless power applications
Currently the project is looking for power transmission in
the range of 100w
Before the establishment of this technology the detailed
study must be done to check whether it cause any harm on
any living beings
