 INTRODUCTION
Wireless power transmission , the concept of which was realized
by the revered scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla. Wireless
power transmission can make remarkable changes by
eliminating the use of conventional copper wires for carrying
current. Based on this concept a Tesla coil is made for a small
range. Wireless power transfer will drastically reduce the power
loss almost by 26% , as most of it is lost while transmission
through the wires facing the wire resistance. Wireless power
transmission uses electromagnetic induction method for
transmission. This is reliable , fast, low maintenance required
and this also reduces the risk of electric shock as the electric
source and the load are galvanically isolated .
We need to shift to wireless power transmission as it saves
much of our valuable non renewable energy on which we
primarily depend on. Wireless power transmission has diverse
applications with it’s own benefits. It is highly advantageous to
be used and in certain cases is poised to play a vital role in the
worldwide drive to electrify transportation. Thus it is ubiquitous
throughout technologically advanced future societies.
Thus wireless power transmission although an old concept but
now it is surely taking it’s turn in the advancement and
development of modern technology
 THEORY
RESISTOR :
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that
implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors
act to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower
voltage levels within circuits. In electronic circuits resistors are
used to limit current flow, to adjust signal levels, bias active
elements, terminate transmission lines among other uses. High-
power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power
as heat may be used as part of motor controls, in power
distribution systems, or as test roads for generators.
TRANSISTORS:
It is a semiconductor device used to switch electronic signal
into electric power. It is composed of semiconductor material
with at least 3 terminals for conductance of external circuits.
BATTERY:
An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more
electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into
electrical energy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or
cathode, and a negative terminal, or anode. Electrolytes allow
ions to move between the electrodes and terminals, which
allows current to flow out of the battery to perform work.
COPPER WIRE :
Copper wire is a single electrical conductor made up of copper.
It is ideal for being used for power transmission, power
distribution, telecommunication and most of the electric
equipments . Copper wire is safer to use as it is resistant to heat
compared to most other conductive metals. It has high electrical
conductivity and ductile . This makes it ideal for the
manufacturing of most electrical wires.

ALUMINIUM FOIL :
Aluminium is a decent conductor of electricity definitely not the
best when compared to copper. It is light weight and convenient
to use .It is less riskier than copper and easy to handle.
 METHOD

Step 1: We have to take all the required components .

Step 2: We have to take a PVC pipe and wrap it with copper
wire fully without any gap , thus forming the coil.
Step 3: Take another insulated wire and wrap it around the
lower end of the copper wrappings on the pipe.
Step 4: Solder the copper wire with the middle leg of the
transistor and one end of the resistor.
Step 5: Connect the negative black wire of the battery clip with
another leg of the transistor and the insulated wire with another
leg of the transistor.
Step 6: Solder another wire with one end of resistor and connect
it with one end of switch.
Step 7: Connect the positive wire of the battery clip with another
part of the switch.
Step 8: Place a ball wrapper with aluminium foil on the pvc
pipe.
Step 9: Then just connect the battery and switch the circuit on
for wireless power transmission.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
Wireless power transmission works on the principle of
electromagnetic induction principle.
The electromagnetic induction principle states that emf is induced
whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field and if
it is a closed circuit then current flows through it. The magnitude
of the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of the flux
linkages.
The tesla coil we made works on a small scale . It consists of
mainly a secondary and a primary coil. The primary coil is
connected to the power source and between the primary coil is the
secondary coil placed . The transistor help in maintaining the
current flow as and when the polarity of the secondary coil rotates
by the effect of the primary coil. The power which flows from to
the primary coil gradually increases as an effect of the transistor ,
thus a changing magnetic field is created which in turn induces
emf in the secondary coil. The secondary coil has no outputs , thus
huge amount of charge gets stored in the secondary coil. This
ionizes the surrounding air particle , and if the power source is
huge then electric sparks are generated just like thunder by corona
discharge. The emf in the secondary coil generates magnetic filed
around it and on bringing any electrical equipment in it’s
proximity by the effect of electromagnetic induction works with
that.
 CONCLUSION
The wireless power transmission system is one of the most
revolutionary inventions by Nikola Tesla . Wireless power
transmission model can be used as an application of
electromagnetic induction in a very simple manner. By using
wireless power transfer we can save a lot of power from being
wasted by resistance in the wires.
Wireless power transmission can also reduce the cost of
electricity drastically . The Tesla coil made by Nikola Tesla coil
also has an in built transformer present in it which can provide
huge amount of charges from a low power source. This is very
useful for people and will help in the rapid advancement of the
society.
Wireless power transmission is used in many fields of work ,
especially in the satellites for power generation. It is also used in
film industry for producing the effects of thunder and lightning.
But we must develop this technology for using it widely for
power generation and must shift from the wired power
transmission. We must work for making it the sole and the chief
way of power transmission.
 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The model we have made only works for a small range . In the
future we strive to make a bigger model which can work for a
bit more distance . We also aim to show an electric arc by
supplying more power to the primary coil and making a bigger
model . In the future we aim to incorporate capacitor in the
model and use AC power supply instead of DC power supply
for making the Tesla coil showing wireless power transmission.
