This document discusses wireless power transmission. It describes how wireless technology has allowed increased portability by removing wires but power cords are still needed. A new system called witricity uses resonant electromagnetic fields to efficiently transfer energy without wires over short and long distances. Witricity works by using a transmitter and receiver, operating on resonant coupling and microwave energy transfer principles. Wireless power could eliminate tangled charging cables and has potential applications where wires are inconvenient but constant power is needed. However, efficiently transferring the power wirelessly remains an important challenge.

Wireless Energy Transfer: The Future of Power Distribution
Portable electronics, wireless networks, and resonant electromagnetic states with
Bluetooth devices have all revolutionized localized slowly-evanescent field patterns our day-to-day activities by freeing us from can be used to transfer energy efficiently the confines of space and allowing a degree over non-negligible distances, even in the of portability never before experienced. presence of extraneous environmental Contemporary consumer electronics objects. It is known that electromagnetic companies such as Sony, Apple, and energy also associated with the propagation Research In Motion (the Canadian company of the electromagnetic waves. We can use behind the BlackBerry) have all proudly theoretically all electromagnetic waves for a released products which require fewer and wireless power transmission (WPT). fewer wires to function and operate; Scientific minds have been questioning however, behind every beautiful Sony some of the fundamental laws of physics plasma television or attached to every which has driven WiTricity since the early charging laptop or cell phone is a plethora of 19th century. Space Solar Power (SSP), ugly wires all tangling their way towards a combined with Wireless Power power supply. No matter how sophisticated Transmission (WPT), offers the far-term and robust wireless technology becomes, potential to solve major energy problems on there appears to be no way of cutting the Earth. Wireless transmission is ideal in cases power cord. However, this is beginning to where instantaneous or continuous energy change. The aim of this paper is to transfer is needed, but interconnecting wires introduce a new system of transmitting the are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. power which is called wireless electricity or The tangle of cables and plugs needed to witricity. Witricity is based upon to transfer recharge today's electronic gadgets could electrical energy without wires. The system soon be a thing of the past. The concept consists of a Witricity transmitter (any exploits century-old physics and could work power source likely to be from a sun to over distances of many metres. Consumers any other minor sources), and devices desire a simple universal solution that frees which act as receivers (electrical load) It is them from the hassles of plug-in chargers based on the principle of resonant coupling and adaptors. "Wireless power technology and microwave energy transfers. The action has the potential to deliver on all of these of an electrical transformer is the simplest needs." However, transferring the power is instance of wireless energy transfer. There the important part of the solution. are mainly two types of transfers i.e. short range and long range transmission. The short range are of 2-3metres where as the long range are of few kilometers. We investigate whether, and to what extent, the physical phenomenon of long-lifetime
