5. We Humans Love Electricity!
And to power our mobile devices we buy:
40 BILLION disposable batteries/year!

14. WiTricity Technology:
Resonant Energy Transfer
• Resonance
- Efficient energy exchange
between tuned resonant object.
- Very little energy transferred to
extraneous or off-resonant objects.

16. How WiTricity Technology Works
A “power capture coil” is
brought within range of
the power source coil
16
17. How WiTricity Technology Works
• The magnetic field induces
current in the capture coil, and
a magnetic field around it
• The magnetic fields of the two
coils couple tightly, and
transfer power efficiently

18. What About Safety?
• Non-radiative power transfer – uses magnetic
near field
• Magnetic fields are safe for people and animals
• Highly resonant coupling minimizes energy
transfer to “off-resonant” objects
• WiTricity systems are designed to meet int’l
safety guidelines
