- Witricity refers to the ability to transmit electrical energy wirelessly through magnetic field resonance.
- The document discusses the history of wireless electricity from Nikola Tesla's initial proposals in 1891 to current research at MIT.
- It describes how witricity works using magnetic coils that resonate to transmit power from a source to a receiver without wires.
- Potential applications include wireless charging of devices, electric vehicles, and creating wire-free power in homes and "smart cities." The document reviews both the advantages of eliminating wires and batteries and some disadvantages like initial cost and safety constraints.
