 THEORY
The Wireless Electricity Transfer concept is not new.
It was first demonstrated by Nikola Tesla in the year
1890. Nikola Tesla introduced electrodynamics
induction or resonant inductive coupling by lighting up
three light bulbs from the distance of 60 feet from the
power source. We have also built a Mini Tesla Coil to
transfer the energy.
Wireless Electricity Transfer or WET is a process to
supply power through an air gap without using any wires
or physical link. In this wireless system, the transmitter
device generates a time-varying or high-frequency
electromagnetic field, which transmits power to receiver
device without any physical connection. The receiver
device extracts power from the magnetic field and
supplies it to electrical load. Therefore, to convert the
electricity to an electromagnetic field, two coils are used
as transmitter coil and receiver coil. The transmitter coil
is powered by alternating current and creates a magnetic
field, which is further converted into a usable voltage
across the receiver coil.

 PROCEDURE
1. Here the transistor used is an NPN transistor, which
is BC547.

2. Coil is the crucial part in wireless energy

transmission and should be built carefully. In this
project, the coils are made using copper wire of
diameter 70mm.

3. For the transmitter, wind the wire till 17 turns, then

the loop for center tap connection and again make 17
turns of coil. And for the receiver, make a 34 turns
of coil winding without the center tap.

4. Take out the coating carefully for both of the coils,

take the LED and fix it in the 1st coil. Then keep it
aside.

5. Now take the 2nd coil. Take the transistor and connect
the resistance. Take the coil and connect it to 1st end.
After the connection is completed, connect the
resistance with the 2nd end.

6. Now take the battery cap and connect the positive

wire to the loop wire and connect the battery
indicative to the transistor pin.

7. Now, fix both the coils in the cardboard.

OBSERVATION
 RESULT OF THE
EXPERIMENT

The magnetic field is transferred into

the other coil and by Faraday’s law of
induction, the receiver coil starts
producing the EMF voltage, which is
further used to light up the LED.

As a result, the LED starts glowing

and produces a yellow light.
 LIMITATIONS OF THE
CIRCUIT
This small circuit can work properly but it has
a huge limitation. This circuit is not suitable to
deliver high power and has input voltage
restriction. The efficiency is also very poor. To
overcome this limitation, a push-pull
topologies using transistors or MOSFETs can
be constructed. However, for better and
optimized efficiency, it is better to use proper
wireless transmission driver ICs.
To improve the transmission distance, wind up
the coil properly and increase the no. of turns in
the coil.
 APPLICATIONS OF
WIRELESS POWER
TRANSMISSION(WPT)
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a widely
discussed topic in the electronics industry. This
technology is growing rapidly in the consumer
electronics market for smartphones and chargers.
There are countless benefits of WPT. Some of them
are explained below:
Firstly, in modern power requirement
area, WPT can eliminate the traditional
charging system by replacing the wired charging
solutions. Any portable consumer goods require its
own charging system, wireless power transfer can
solve this problem by providing a universal cordless
power solution for all those portable devices. There
are already many devices available in the market
with built-in wireless power solution like
smartwatch, smartphone etc.
Another benefit of WPT is that it allows the
designer to make completely waterproof
product. As the wireless charging solution does not
need the power port so the device can be made in a
way that is water resistance.
It also offers a wide range of charging solutions in
an efficient way. The power delivery ranges up to
200W, with very low loss of power transfer.
A major benefit of wireless power transmission is
that the product life can be increased by
preventing the physical damages due to charger
insertion across the connectors or the ports.
Multiple devices can be charged from a single dock.
Electronics vehicle can also be charged using
wireless power transfer during the car is parked.
Wireless Energy Transfer can have huge
applications and many big companies like Bosch,
IKEA, Qi are working on some futuristic solutions
using Wireless power transmission.
 CONCLUSION
Both the circuits are constructed on the breadboard and
powered using a 1.5V battery. The circuit can’t be used for
more than 1.5 volt power supply as transistor may heat up for
excessive power dissipation. However, for more rating,
additional driving circuits are needed.

This wireless electricity transmission is based on the Inductive

coupling technique. The circuit consists of two
parts- Transmitter and Receiver.
In transmitter section, the Transistor is generating high-
frequency AC current across the coil and the coil is generating
a magnetic field around it. As the coil is centre tapped, the two
sides of the coil start to charge up. One side of the coil is
connected to the resistor and another side is connected to the
collector terminal of NPN transistor. During the charging
condition, the base resistor starts to conduct which eventually
turns on the transistor. The transistor then discharges the
inductor as the emitter is connected with the ground. This
charging and discharging of the inductor produces a very high
frequency oscillation signal which is further transmitted as a
magnetic field.
On the receiver side, that magnetic field is transferred into the
other coil, and by the Faraday’s law of induction, the receiver
coil start producing EMF voltage which is further used to light
up the LED.
