ABSTRACT

Transmission of electrical energy from one object to another without the use of wires is called as Wireless Electricity. Wireless Electricity will ensure that the cellphones, laptops, iPods and other power hungry devices get charged on their own, eliminating the need of plugging them in and with every family member owning their cellphones, the drawers are overflowing with all sorts of wires. How many times have you wished if there could be some way to do away with all the wiry clutter? When you are on the way to work and your cellphone beeps in hunger for a battery charge, haven't you wished for your cellphone battery to get 'self charged'. Even better, because of Wireless Electricity some of the

devices won't require batteries to operate. This remarkable discovery of the "True Wireless" and the principles upon which transmission and reception, even in the present day systems, are based, Dr. Nikola Tesla shows us that he is indeed the "Father of the Wireless." The most well- known and famous Wardenclyffe Tower (Tesla Tower) was designed and constructed mainly for wireless transmission of electrical power, rather than telegraphy. The most popular concept known is Tesla Theory in which it was firmly believed that Wardenclyffe , would permit wireless transmission and reception across large distances with losses . In spite of this he had made numerous experiments of high quality to validate his claim of possibility of wireless transmission of electricity. But this was an unfortunate incidence that people of that century was not in a position to recognize his splendid work otherwise today we may transmit electricity wirelessly and will convert our mother earth a wonderful adobe full of electricity. Wireless Electricity - Wireless Electricity, these words are simpler said than done. The concept behind this fascinating term is a little complex. However, if you want to understand it, try and picture what I state in the next few lines. Consider two self resonating copper coils of same resonating frequency with a diameter 20 inches each. One copper wire is

connected to the power source (Wireless Electricity transmitter), while the other copper wire is connected to the device (Wireless Electricity Receiver).

3|Page

The electric power from the source causes the copper coil connected to it to start oscillating at a particular (MHz) frequency. Subsequently, the space around the copper coil gets filled with non- magnetic radiations. This generated magnetic field further transfers the power to the other copper coil connected to the receiver. Since this coil is also of the same frequency, it starts oscillating at the same frequency as the first coil. This is known as 'coupled resonance' and is the principle behind Wireless Electricity.

Imagine
Wireless Electricity will ensure that the cellphones, laptops, iPods and other power hungry devices get charged on their own, eliminating the need of plugging them in. Even better, because of Wireless Electricity some of the devices won't require batteries to operate. But as success doesnt come easy the main hindrance to this concept is that the range of the wireless electricity transfer is very small but efforts to improve the range are in progress and this concept will surely emerge out as a successful phenomenon in the near future.

CHAPTER 1. Introduction

In this era of modernization, electricity has become the cup of life. A moment without electricity makes your thinking go dry. The major source of conventional form of electricity is through wires. The continuous research and development has brought forward a major breakthrough, which provides electricity without the medium of wires. This wonder baby is called Wireless Electricity.

There are certain small but very useful discoveries made in history, which changed the world forever, Newtons gravitational law, Watts steam engine, Thomsons bulb and many more. But a renaissance occurred with the invention of Electromagnetic Waves by Maxwell. Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose successfully generated electromagnetic waves having wavelength in the range of 5mm to 25 mm. Thereafter an Italian scientist named Marconi succeeded in transmitting electromagnetic waves up to a distance of several miles.

And with this there started a new era called WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY. Today, as we can see the word wireless is common in day to day life. Wireless communication has made the world smaller. Almost each and everything is wireless or cordless. Cordless mouse, cordless keyboard, satellite communication, mobiles, cordless microphones and headphones, wireless internet service i.e. WIFI, etc. And these have definitely increased the standard of living. In fact it dates back to the 19th century, when Nikola Tesla used conduction based systems instead of resonance magnetic field to transfer wireless power. As it is in Radiative mode, most of the Power was wasted and has less efficiency. Further, in 2005, Dave Gerding coined the term Wireless Electricity which is being used by the MIT researchers today. Moreover, we all are aware of the use of electromagnetic radiations (radio waves) which is quite well known for wireless transfer of information. In addition, lasers have also been used to transmit energy without wires. However, radio waves are not feasible for power transmissions because the nature of the radiation is such that it spreads across the place, resulting into a large amount of radiations being wasted. And in the case of lasers, apart from requirement of uninterrupted line of sight (an obstacle hinders the transmission process). Transmission of electrical energy from one object to another without the use of wires is called as Wireless Electricity. Wireless Electricity will ensure that the cellphones, laptops,

CHAPTER 2: Basic Electricity Technology

Wireless Electricity technology is transferring electric energy or power over distance without wires. with the basics of electricity and magnetism, and work our way up to the Wireless Electricity technology.

2.1 The Basic Elements Electricity: The flow of electrons (current) through a conductor
(like a wire), or charges through the atmosphere (like lightning). A convenient way for energy to get from one place to another. Figure 5: An illustration representing the earth's magnetic field

Magnetism: A fundamental force of nature, which causes certain

types of materials to attract or repel each other. Permanent magnets, like the ones on your refrigerator and the earth's magnetic field, are examples of objects having constant magnetic fields. Oscillating magnetic fields vary with time, and can be

generated by alternating current (AC) flowing on a wire. The strength, direction, and extent of magnetic fields are often represented and visualized by drawings of the magnetic field lines.

Electromagnetism:

A term for the interdependence of time-

varying electric and magnetic fields. For example, it turns out that and oscillating magnetic field produces a magnetic an electric field and an oscillating electric field produces field.

Figure 6:As electric current ,I flow in the circuit it give rise to a magnetic field, which wrap around wire and when current is reversed magnetic field also get reversed

Magnetic Induction: A loop or coil of conductive material like

copper, carrying an alternating current (AC), is a very efficient structure for generating or capturing a magnetic field. If a conductive loop is connected to an AC power source, it will generate an oscillating magnetic field in the vicinity of the loop. A second conducting loop, brought close enough to the first, may capture" some portion of that oscillating magnetic field, which in turn, generates or induces an electric current in the second coil. The current generated in the second coil may be used to power devices. This type of electrical power transfer from one loop or coil to another is well known and referred to as magnetic induction. Some common examples of devices based on magnetic induction are electric transformers and electric generators.
13 | P a g e

Figure 7: The blue lines represent the magnetic field when current flows through a coil and current is reversed, magnetic field also get reversed

Energy/Power Coupling: Energy coupling occurs

when an energy source has a means of transferring energy to another object. One simple example is a locomotive pulling a train car the mechanical coupling between the two enables the locomotive to pull the train, and overcome the forces of friction and inertia that keep the train stilland, the train moves. Magnetic coupling occurs when the magnetic field of one object interacts with a second object and induces an electric current in or Figure 8: An electric transformer is on that object. In this way, electric energy can be to transfer energy from its primary transferred from a power source to a powered device. without the windings being In contrast to the example of mechanical coupling given connected to each other. It is used to
"transform" AC current at one voltage. winding to its secondary winding, a device that uses magnetic induction

for the train, magnetic coupling does not require any voltage to AC current at a different physical contact between the object generating the energy and the object receiving or capturing that energy.

Resonance: Resonance is a property that exists in many different physical systems. It can be
thought of as the natural frequency at which energy can most efficiently be added to an oscillating system. A playground swing is an example of an oscillating system involving potential energy and kinetic energy. The child swings back and forth at a rate that is determined by the length of the swing. The child can make the swing go higher if she properly coordinates her arm and leg action with the motion of the swing. The swing is oscillating at its resonant frequency and the simple movements of the child efficiently transfer energy to the system. Another example of resonance is the way in which a singer can shatter a wine glass by singing a single loud, clear note. In this example, the wine glass is the resonant oscillating system. Sound waves traveling through the air are captured by the glass, and the sound energy is converted to mechanical vibrations of the glass itself. When the singer hits the note that matches the resonant frequency of the glass, the glass absorbs energy, begins vibrating, and can eventually even shatter. The resonant frequency of the glass depends on the size, shape, thickness of the glass, and how much wine is in it.

Resonant Magnetic Coupling: Magnetic coupling occurs when two objects exchange
energy through their varying oscillating magnetic fields. Resonant coupling occurs when the natural frequencies of the two objects are approximately the same.

Figure 9: Two idealized resonant magnetic coils, shown in yellow. The blue and red color bands illustrate their magnetic fields. The coupling of their respective magnetic fields is indicated by the connection of the color bands.

Wireless Electricity Technology: Wireless Electricity power sources and capture devices
are specially designed magnetic resonators that efficiently transfer power over large distances via the magnetic near-field. These proprietary source and device designs and the electronic

systems that control them support efficient energy transfer over distances that are many times the Size of the sources/devices themselves.

Figure 10: The Wireless Electricity power source, left, is connected to AC power. The blue lines represent the magnetic near field induced by the power source. The yellow lines represent the flow of energy from the source to the Wireless electricity capture coil, which is shown powering a light bulb. Note that this diagram also shows how the magnetic field (blue lines) can wrap around a conductive obstacle between the power source and the capture device.

Block Diagram Description

AC Mains: The law of conservation of energy states that anything that needs to be

operated requires energy for its operation. Thus to operate our circuit we would need some energy source. This energy is provided by the AC Supply provided in our homes. The voltage that is provided in our homes is of 50Hz frequency having voltage level of 220 Volts.

Function Generator: The basic requirement of wireless electricity transmission is

operation of circuit at resonance frequency which would increase the range of the magnetic field in its vicinity so that it can generate magnetic flux in secondary coils with maximum efficiency. If we would not use resonance frequency then the Transmission of magnetic flux can be reduced by a factor of upto a million. That is the reason why we have to employ a function generator to convert the frequency of a AC Main Supply to the resonant frequency which is decided by the inductance and capacitance which we would be using.

16 | P a g e

Primary and Secondary Coils: The primary coil is in the form of a parallel resonant

circuit containing Capacitance and inductance. The Capacitance and inductance generate the resonance in the coil. When we pass AC Current through our coil then as the current passes through the inductance a magnetic field is generated in its vicinity. However the magnitude of magnetic field is very low to use in practical applications. To make it practically viable we use resonant frequency which would increase the magnitude with which the transmission takes place by a huge factor of even upto a million times. The resonant frequency is decided by the capacitance and inductance. The inductance that we are using is of copper. The copper coil would be having low resistance that would help us to change the current to our will by adjusting the variable resistance that we would attach in series to the coil. By changing the value of this resistance, we would be able to control the current.

Medium of Transmission: The basic advantage of the principle of our project is that

the transmission can take place across different mediums. The magnetic field that we use has the property to propagate through different materials. Thus we are able to transmit electricity through different materials, without thinking about the materials that would be there between the primary coil and secondary coil. The magnetic field can transmit across different mediums such as brick, wood, cement, etc. Thus the line of sight does not play a role in propagation of magnetic field.

Electrical Equipments: Various electrical equipments can be operated with the

application of wireless electricity depending upon the power rating that is required by them. However there is a limitation on the distance across which they can be operated. The maximum range across which wireless electricity may be used to run different equipments can be extended upto a distance of around 5 meters. Further research is going on to increase the range for the transmission.

Circuit Diagram Description

We are using a parallel LC Circuit. L is used to generate the magnetic flux and C is used to Condition the sine wave signal. A resistance is connected in series to the parallel LC circuit which would regulate the current flowing through the circuit. The resistance is set keeping in mind the current requirement of a circuit and the impedances provided by the parallel LC circuit. The inductance of the coil that we are using is found by the formula L= (0 N2 A)/l Where L is the inductance of the coil, 0 is the permeability of free space N is the number of turns that we are using in our coil. A is the cross sectional area of the coil And l is the length of the coil. Thus, we found L to be equal to 126.2 H. The capacitance that we have used has a value of 0.33 F. The resonant frequency is found out by the formula f= 1/2 Thus we have found f to be equal to 1.02 MHz. The current that we need in the primary coil is calculated on the basis of the efficiency that we are getting in the transmission and the current that is needed in the secondary coil for the operation of the electronic component. The current value is adjusted by changing the value of resistance that we connect in series to the primary coil as per the Ohms Law. We have XL and XC Connected in Parallel, and R in series so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is )

18 | P a g e

Req= R + XL||XC = R+ (XL. XC )/( XL+XC ) Now XL = 2fL and XC =1/2fC C=0.33F and L= 126.2H Thus XL = 808.8 ohms and XC =0.47 ohms Thus XL||XC =0.469 ohms. We adjust the value of resistance according to our current requirements. So we set the resistance at 2 ohms to generate a current of 2 Amperes according to ohms law.

3.5

Working

We are providing 220 Volts at 50 Hz frequency to a function generator. The function generator has a task of converting the frequency of the AC Mains to the resonant frequency that we require for our operation to take place. The function generator thus converts 50 Hz frequency signal to 1.02 MHz frequency signal at the voltage level of 15 Volts. This Voltage Signal sends an AC current to the primary coil generating magnetic flux in the inductance. The AC currents value is set by then resistance connected in series. The inductance thus generate a magnetic flux which is the reason by which our primary and secondary coils are connected .And the voltage induced in the secondary coils is passed through a capacitance of value 0.33F and a load is connected to this capacitance .If we check using a CRO at the output of secondary coil, we can measure current induced across the secondary coil. This current is used to drive our load connected to the secondary winding.

3.5.1 LC Tuned Circuit

An LC circuit, also called a resonant circuit or tuned circuit, consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C. When connected together, they can act as an electrical resonator, an electrical analogue of a tuning fork, storing electrical energy oscillating at the circuit's resonant frequency. LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal. They are key components in many electronic devices, particularly radio equipment, used in circuits such as oscillators, filters, tuners and frequency mixers.

19 | P a g e

An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance. For a model incorporating resistance see RLC circuit. The purpose of an LC circuit is to oscillate with minimal damping, and for this reason their resistance is made as low as possible. While no practical circuit is without losses, it is nonetheless instructive to study this pure form to gain a good understanding. An LC circuit can store electrical energy oscillating at its resonant frequency. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates, depending on the voltage across it, and an inductor stores energy in its magnetic field, depending on the current through it. If a charged capacitor is connected across an inductor, charge will start to flow through the inductor, building up a magnetic field around it, and reducing the voltage on the capacitor. Eventually all the charge on the capacitor will be gone and the voltage across it will reach zero. However, the current will continue, because inductors resist changes in current, and energy to keep it flowing is extracted from the magnetic field, which will begin to decline. The current will begin to charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite polarity to its original charge. When the magnetic field is completely dissipated the current will stop and the charge will again be stored in the capacitor, with the opposite polarity as before. Then the cycle will begin again, with the current flowing in the opposite direction through the inductor. The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor, through the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an external circuit) internal resistance makes the oscillations die out. Its action, known mathematically as a harmonic oscillator, is similar to a pendulum swinging back and forth, or water sloshing back and forth in a tank. For this reason the circuit is also called a tank circuit. The oscillation frequency is determined by the capacitance and inductance values used. In typical tuned circuits in electronic equipment the oscillations are very fast, thousands to millions of times per second.

3.5.1.1 Resonance effect

The resonance effect occurs when inductive and capacitive reactances are equal in absolute value. The frequency at which this equality holds for the particular circuit is called the resonant frequency. The resonant frequency of the LC circuit is

20 | P a g e

where L is the inductance in henries, and C is the capacitance in farads. The angular frequency has units of radians per second.

The equivalent frequency in units of hertz is

LC circuits are often used as filters; the L/C ratio is one of the factor that determines their "Q" and so selectivity. For a series resonant circuit with a given resistance, the higher the inductance and the lower the capacitance, the narrower the filter bandwidth. For a parallel resonant circuit the opposite applies. Positive feedback around the tuned circuit ("regeneration") can also increase selectivity (see Q multiplier and Regenerative circuit). Stagger tuning can provide an acceptably wide audio bandwidth, yet good selectivity.

3.5.1.2 Parallel LC circuit Resonance

Here a coil (L) and capacitor (C) are connected in parallel with an AC power supply. Let R be the internal resistance of the coil. When XL equals XC, the reactive branch currents are equal and opposite. Hence they cancel out each other to give minimum current in the main line. Since total current is minimum in this state the total impedance is maximum. Resonant frequency given by:

Note that any reactive branch current is not minimum at resonance, but each is given separately by dividing source voltage (V) by reactance (Z). Hence I=V/Z, as per Ohm's law.

At fr, line current is minimum. Total impedance is maximum in this state a circuit is

called a rejecter circuit.

21 | P a g e

Below fr, circuit is inductive. Above fr, circuit is capacitive.

Impedance
The same analysis may be applied to the parallel LC circuit. The total impedance is then given by:

and after substitution of

and

and simplification, gives

. Note that

but for all other values of

the impedance is finite (and therefore less than infinity).

Hence the parallel LC circuit connected in series with a load will act as band-stop filter having infinite impedance at the resonant frequency of the LC circuit.

3.5.1.3 Applications of resonance effect

1. Most common application is tuning. For example, when we tune a radio to a particular station, the LC circuits are set at resonance for that particular carrier frequency. 2. A series resonant circuit provides voltage magnification. 3. A parallel resonant circuit provides current magnification. 4. A parallel resonant circuit can be used as load impedance in output circuits of RF amplifiers. Due to high impedance, the gain of amplifier is maximum at resonant frequency. 5. Both parallel and series resonant circuits are used in induction heating.

22 | P a g e

3.5.2 Bridge Rectifier

A diode bridge is an arrangement of four (or more) diodes in a bridge circuit configuration that provides the same polarity of output for either polarity of input. When used in its most common application, for conversion of an alternating current (AC) input into direct current a (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier. A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input, resulting in lower cost and weight as compared to a rectifier with a 3-wire input from a transformer with a center-tapped secondary winding. The essential feature of a diode bridge is that the polarity of the output is the same regardless of the polarity at the input.

3.5.2.1 Basic operation

According to the conventional model of current flow originally established by Benjamin Franklin and still followed by most engineers today, current is assumed to flow through electrical conductors from the positive to the negative pole.[2] In actuality, free electrons in a conductor nearly always flow from the negative to the positive pole. In the vast majority of applications, however, the actual direction of current flow is irrelevant. Therefore, in the discussion below the conventional model is retained. In the diagrams below, when the input connected to the left corner of the diamond is positive, and the input connected to the right corner is negative, current flows from the upper supply terminal to the right along the red (positive) path to the output, and returns to the lower supply terminal via the blue (negative) path.

23 | P a g e

When the input connected to the left corner is negative, and the input connected to the right corner is positive, current flows from the upper supply terminal to the right along the red (positive) path to the output, and returns to the lower supply terminal via the blue (negative) path.

In each case, the upper right output remains positive and lower right output negative. Since this is true whether the input is AC or DC, this circuit not only produces a DC output from an AC input, it can also provide what is sometimes called "reverse polarity protection". That is, it permits normal functioning of DC-powered equipment when batteries have been installed backwards, or when the leads (wires) from a DC power source have been reversed, and protects the equipment from potential damage caused by reverse polarity. Prior to the availability of integrated circuits, a bridge rectifier was constructed from "discrete components", i.e., separate diodes. Since about 1950, a single four-terminal component containing the four diodes connected in a bridge configuration became a standard commercial component and is now available with various voltage and current ratings.

24 | P a g e

Figure AC, half-wave and full wave rectified signals.

3.5.2.2 Output smoothing

For many applications, especially with single phase AC where the full-wave bridge serves to convert an AC input into a DC output, the addition of a capacitor may be desired because the bridge alone supplies an output of pulsed DC (see diagram to right). The function of this capacitor, known as a reservoir capacitor (or smoothing capacitor) is to lessen the variation in (or 'smooth') the rectified AC output voltage waveform from the bridge. There is still some variation, known as "ripple". One explanation of 'smoothing' is that the capacitor provides a low impedance path to the AC component of the output, reducing the AC voltage across, and AC current through, the resistive load. In less technical terms, any drop in the output voltage and current of the bridge tends to be canceled by loss of charge in the capacitor. This charge flows out as additional current through the load. Thus the change of load current and voltage is reduced relative to what would occur without the capacitor. Increases of voltage correspondingly store excess charge in the capacitor, thus moderating the change in output voltage / current.

25 | P a g e

The simplified circuit shown has a well-deserved reputation for being dangerous, because, in some applications, the capacitor can retain a lethal charge after the AC power source is removed. If supplying a dangerous voltage, a practical circuit should include a reliable way to discharge the capacitor safely. If the normal load cannot be guaranteed to perform this function, perhaps because it can be disconnected, the circuit should include a bleeder resistor connected as close as practical across the capacitor. This resistor should consume a current large enough to discharge the capacitor in a reasonable time, but small enough to minimize unnecessary power waste. The capacitor and the load resistance have a typical time constant = RC where C and R are the capacitance and load resistance respectively. As long as the load resistor is large enough so that this time constant is much longer than the time of one ripple cycle, the above configuration will produce a smoothed DC voltage across the load. When the capacitor is connected directly to the bridge, as shown, current flows in only a small portion of each cycle, which may be undesirable. The transformer and bridge diodes must be sized to withstand the current surge that occurs when the power is turned on at the peak of the AC voltage and the capacitor is fully discharged. Sometimes a small series resistor is included before the capacitor to limit this current, though in most applications the power supply transformer's resistance is already sufficient. Adding a resistor, or better yet, an inductor, between the bridge and capacitor can ensure that current is drawn over a large portion of each cycle and a large current surge does not occur.

3.6 Testing
The testing is carried out on the working circuit. We calculate the efficiency of the current in secondary coil with respect to the primary coil i.e. the efficiency of output according to the input can be said to be approximately 50% at a distance of 15 cm. We also observe that when we vary the distance of the secondary coil with respect to primary coil, there is a variation in the strength of the voltage signal induced. The signal strength is increased when the distance between the primary and secondary coils reduces. Similarly the signal strength reduces when the coils are moved apart.

CHAPTER 4. Wireless Electricity Technology Is More Than.......

4.1 Traditional Magnetic Induction
At first glance, Wireless Electricity technology for power transfer appears to be traditional magnetic induction, such as is used in power transformers, where conductive coils transmit power to each other wirelessly, over very short distances. Inductive charging uses the electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. A charging station sends energy through inductive coupling to an electrical device, which stores the energy in the batteries. Because there is a small gap between the two coils, inductive charging is one kind of short-distance wireless energy transfer. Figure 13: Magnetic Induction The two coils must be very close together, and may even overlap, but the coils do not make direct electrical contact with each other. Induction chargers typically use an induction coil to create an alternating electromagnetic field from within a charging base station, and a second induction coil in the portable device takes power from the electromagnetic field and converts it back into electrical current to charge the battery. The two induction coils in proximity combine to form an electrical transformer However, the efficiency of the power exchange in traditional magnetic induction systems drops by orders of magnitude when the distance between the coils becomes larger than their sizes. In addition to electric transformers, other devices based on traditional magnetic induction include rechargeable electric toothbrushes, and inductive charging pads which require that the object being charged be placed directly on top of, or very close to, the base or pad supplying the power. The power exchange efficiency of some induction systems is improved by utilizing resonant circuits. These so-called resonantly enhanced induction techniques are used in certain medical implants and high-frequency RFIDs for example. However, to the best of our knowledge, Wireless Electricity founding technical team was the first to discover that by specially designing the magnetic resonators, one could achieve strong coupling and highly efficient energy exchange over distances much larger than the size of the resonator coils, distances very large compared to traditional schemes.

4.2 Radiative Power Transfer

Figure 15: Radiative Power Transfer

Wireless Electricity technology for power transfer is non-radiative and relies on near-field magnetic coupling. Many other techniques for wireless power transfer rely on radiative techniques, either broadcasted or narrow beam (directed radiation) transmission of radio, or light waves. Broadcasted radiation of radio frequency energy is commonly used for wireless information transfer because information can be transmitted over a wide are to multiple users. The power received by each radio or wireless receiver is miniscule, and must be amplified in a receiving unit using an external power supply. Because the vast majority of radiated power is wasted into free space, radio transmission is considered to be an inefficient means of power transfer. Note that while more energy can be supplied to the receiver by "cranking up the power" of the transmitters in these systems, such high power levels may pose a safety hazard and may interfere with other radio frequency devices

In addition to radio waves, visible and invisible light waves can also be used to transfer energy. The sun is an excellent radiative source of light energy, and industry and academia are working hard to develop photovoltaic technologies to convert sunlight to electrical energy. A laser beam is a form of directed light radiation, in which visible or invisible light waves may be formed into a collimated beam, delivering energy in a targeted way. However, as in the case of directed radio waves, safe and efficient transmission of laser power requires a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver.

4.4 Tesla's Vision of a Wireless World

In the late 1800's and early 1900's, at the dawn of the electrification of the modern world, some scientists and engineers believed that using wires to transfer electricity from every place it was generated to every place that it could be used would be too expensive to be practical. Nikola Tesla, one of the most well known of these scientists, Had a vision for a wireless world in which wireless electric power

and communications would reach around the world, delivering information and power to ships at sea, factories, and every home on the planet. Tesla contributed significantly to our understanding of

CHAPTER 5. Features and Benefits

5.1 Highly Resonant Strong Coupling Provides High Efficiency over Distance
Wireless Electricity mode of wireless power transfer is highly efficient over distances ranging from centimeters to several meters. Efficiency may be defined as the amount of usable electrical energy that is available to the device being powered, divided by the amount of energy that is drawn by the Wireless Electricity source. In many applications, efficiency can exceed 70%. And Wireless Electricity sources only transfer energy when it is needed. When a Wireless Electricity powered device no longer needs to capture additional energy, the Wireless Electricity power source will automatically reduce its power consumption to a power saving "idle" state. Resonant inductive coupling or electrodynamic induction is the near field wireless transmission of electrical energy between two coils that are tuned to resonate at the same frequency. The equipment to do this is sometimes called a resonant or resonance transformer. While many transformers employ resonance, this type has a high Q and is often air cored to avoid 'iron' losses. The two coils exist as two separate pieces of equipment. Resonant transfer works by making a coil ring with an oscillating current. This generates an oscillating magnetic field. Because the coil is highly resonant any energy placed in the coil dies away relatively slowly over very many cycles; but if a second coil is brought near it, the coil can pick up most of the energy before it is lost, even if it is some distance away. The fields used are predominately non-radiative, near field (sometimes called evanescent waves), as all hardware is kept well within the 1/4 wavelength distance they radiate little energy from the transmitter to infinity. One of the applications of the resonant transformer is for the CCFL inverter. Another application of the resonant transformer is to couple between stages of a super-heterodyne receiver, where the selectivity of the receiver is provided by tuned transformers in the intermediate-frequency amplifiers. Resonant transformers such as the Tesla coil can generate very high voltages with or without arcing, and are able to provide much higher current than

32 | P a g e

electrostatic high-voltage generation machines such as the Van de Graaff generator. Resonant energy transfer is the operating principle behind proposed short range wireless electricity. Using resonance can help efficiency dramatically. If resonant coupling is used, each coil is capacitively loaded so as to form a tuned LC circuit. If the primary and secondary coils are resonant at a common frequency, it turns out that significant power may be transmitted between the coils over a range of a few times the coil diameters at reasonable efficiency.

5.1.1 Energy transfer and efficiency

The general principle is that if a given oscillating amount of energy (for example alternating current from a wall outlet) is placed into a primary coil which is capacitively loaded, the coil will 'ring', and form an oscillating magnetic field. The energy will transfer back and forth between the magnetic field in the inductor and the electric field across the capacitor at the resonant frequency. This oscillation will die away at a rate determined by the Q factor, mainly due to resistive and radiative losses. However, provided the secondary coil cuts enough of the field that it absorbs more energy than is lost in each cycle of the primary, then most of the energy can still be transferred. The primary coil forms a series RLC circuit, and the Q factor for such a coil is:

For R=10 ohm,C=1 micro farad and L=10 mH, Q is given as 1000. Because the Q factor can be very high, (experimentally around a thousand has been demonstrated with air cored coils) only a small percentage of the field has to be coupled from one coil to the other to achieve high efficiency, even though the field dies quickly with distance from a coil, the primary and secondary can be several diameters apart.

5.1.2 Coupling coefficient

The coupling coefficient is the fraction of the flux of the primary that cuts the secondary coil, and is a function of the geometry of the system. The coupling coefficient is between 0 and 1.

33 | P a g e

Systems are said to be tightly coupled, loosely coupled, critically coupled or over-coupled. Tight coupling is when the coupling coefficient is around 1 as with conventional iron-core transformers. Over-coupling is when the secondary coil is so close that it tends to collapse the primary's field, and critical coupling is when the transfer in the pass-band is optimal. Loose coupling is when the coils are distant from each other, so that most of the flux misses the secondary, in Tesla coils around 0.2 is used, and at greater distances, for example for inductive wireless power transmission, it may be lower than 0.01.

5.1.3 Power transfer

Because the Q can be very high, even when low power is fed into the transmitter coil, a relatively intense field builds up over multiple cycles, which increases the power that can be receivedat resonance far more power is in the oscillating field than is being fed into the coil, and the receiver coil receives a percentage of that.

5.1.4 Voltage gain

The voltage gain of resonantly coupled coils is proportional to the square root of the ratio of secondary and primary inductances. Voltage Gain L2/ L1 L1 and L2 are the inductance of primary and secondary coils.

5.1.5 Transmitter coils and circuitry

Unlike the multiple-layer secondary of a non-resonant transformer, coils for this purpose are often single layer solenoids (to minimise skin effect and give improved Q) in parallel with a suitable capacitor. Insulation is either absent, with spacers, or low permittivity, low loss materials such as silk to minimise dielectric losses.

5.1.6 Receiver coils and circuitry

The receiver is a secondary coil connected to a device which is to be worked upon. The secondary receiver coils are similar designs to the primary sending coils. Running the

34 | P a g e

secondary at the same resonant frequency as the primary ensures that the secondary has a low impedance at the transmitter's frequency and that the energy is optimally absorbed. To remove energy from the secondary coil, different methods can be used, the AC can be used directly or rectified and a regulator circuit can be used to generate DC voltage depending upon the application.

5.2 Energy Transfer via Magnetic Near Field Can Penetrate and Wrap Around Obstacles
Wireless energy transfer or wireless power is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without a conductive physical connection. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. The problem of wireless power transmission differs from that of wireless telecommunications, such as radio. In the latter, the proportion of energy received becomes critical only if it is too low for the signal to be distinguished from the background noise. With wireless power, efficiency is the more significant parameter. A large part of the energy sent out by the generating plant must arrive at the receiver or receivers to make the system economical. The magnetic near field has several properties that make it an excellent means of transferring energy in a typical consumer, commercial, or industrial environment. Most common building and furnishing materials, such as wood, gypsum wall board, plastics, textiles, glass, brick, and concrete are essentially "transparent" to magnetic fieldsenabling Wireless Electricity technology to efficiently transfer power through them. In addition, the magnetic near field has the ability to "wrap around" many metallic obstacles that might otherwise block the magnetic fields. An electric current flowing through a conductor carries electrical energy. When an electric current passes through a circuit there is an electric field in the dielectric surrounding the conductor; magnetic field lines around the conductor and lines of electric force radially about the conductor. In a direct current circuit, if the current is continuous, the fields are constant; there is a condition of stress in the space surrounding the conductor, which represents stored electric
35 | P a g e

and magnetic energy, just as a compressed spring or a moving mass represents stored energy. In an alternating current circuit, the fields also alternate; that is, with every half wave of current and of voltage, the magnetic and the electric field start at the conductor and run outwards into space with the speed of light. Where these alternating fields impinge on another conductor a voltage and a current are induced. Any change in the electrical conditions of the circuit, whether internal or external involves a readjustment of the stored magnetic and electric field energy of the circuit, that is, a so-called transient. A transient is of the general character of a condenser discharge through an inductive circuit. The phenomenon of the condenser discharge through an inductive circuit therefore is of the greatest importance to the engineer, as the foremost cause of high-voltage and high-frequency troubles in electric circuits. Electromagnetic induction is proportional to the intensity of the current and voltage in the conductor which produces the fields and to the frequency. The higher is the frequency, the more intense the induction effect. Energy is transferred from a conductor that produces the fields (the primary) to any conductor on which the fields impinge (the secondary). A part of the energy of the primary conductor passes inductively across space into secondary conductor and the energy decreases rapidly along the primary conductor. A high frequency current does not pass for long distances along a conductor but rapidly transfers its energy by induction to adjacent conductors. Higher induction resulting from the higher frequency is the explanation of the apparent difference in the propagation of high frequency disturbances from the propagation of the low frequency power of alternating current systems. The higher the frequency, the more preponderant become the inductive effects that transfer energy from circuit to circuit across space. The more rapidly the energy decreases and the current dies out along the circuit, the more local is the phenomenon. The flow of electric energy thus comprises phenomena inside of the conductor and phenomena in the space outside of the conductorthe electric fieldwhich, in a continuous current circuit, is a condition of steady magnetic and dielectric stress, and in an alternating current circuit is alternating, that is, an electric wave launched by the conductor to become far-field electromagnetic radiation traveling through space with the speed of light.

36 | P a g e

In electric power transmission and distribution, the phenomena inside of the conductor are of main importance, and the electric field of the conductor is usually observed only incidentally. Inversely, in the use of electric power for radio telecommunications it is only the electric and magnetic fields outside of the conductor that is electromagnetic radiation, which is of importance in transmitting the message. The phenomenon in the conductor, the current in the launching structure, is not used. The electric charge displacement in the conductor produces a magnetic field and resultant lines of electric force. The magnetic field is a maximum in the direction concentric, or approximately so, to the conductor. That is, a ferromagnetic body tends to set itself in a direction at right angles to the conductor. The electric field has a maximum in a direction radial, or approximately so, to the conductor. The electric field component tends in a direction radial to the conductor and dielectric bodies may be attracted or repelled radially to the conductor. The electric field of a circuit over which energy flows has three main axes at right angles with each other: 1. The magnetic field, concentric with the conductor. 2. The lines of electric force, radial to the conductor. 3. The power gradient, parallel to the conductor. Where the electric circuit consists of several conductors, the electric fields of the conductors superimpose upon each other, and the resultant magnetic field lines and lines of electric force are not concentric and radial respectively, except approximately in the immediate neighborhood of the conductor. Between parallel conductors they are conjugate of circles. Neither the power consumption in the conductor, nor the magnetic field, nor the electric field, are proportional to the flow of energy through the circuit. However, the product of the intensity of the magnetic field and the intensity of the electric field is proportional to the flow of energy or the power, and the power is therefore resolved into a product of the two components i and e, which are chosen proportional respectively to the intensity of the magnetic field and of the electric field. The component called the current is defined as that factor of the electric power which is proportional to the magnetic field, and

37 | P a g e

the other component, called the voltage, is defined as that factor of the electric power which is proportional to the electric field. In radio telecommunications the electric field of the transmit antenna propagates through space as a radio wave and impinges upon the receive antenna where it is observed by its magnetic and electric effect. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X rays and gamma rays are shown to be the same electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, differing one from the other only in frequency of vibration.

5.2.1 Electrostatic induction method

Electrostatic or capacitive coupling is the passage of electrical energy through a dielectric. In practice it is an electric field gradient or differential capacitance between two or more insulated terminals, plates, electrodes, or nodes that are elevated over a conducting ground plane. The electric field is created by charging the plates with a high potential, high frequency alternating current power supply. The capacitance between two elevated terminals and a powered device form a voltage divider. The electric energy transmitted by means of electrostatic induction can be utilized by a receiving device, such as a wireless lamp. Tesla demonstrated the illumination of wireless lamps by energy that was coupled to them through an alternating electric field. "Instead of depending on electrodynamic induction at a distance to light the tube . . . [the] ideal way of lighting a hall or room would . . . be to produce such a condition in it that an illuminating device could be moved and put anywhere, and that it is lighted, no matter where it is put and without being electrically connected to anything. I have been able to produce such a condition by creating in the room a powerful, rapidly alternating electrostatic field. For this purpose I suspend a sheet of metal a distance from the ceiling on insulating cords and connect it to one terminal of the induction coil, the other terminal being preferably connected to the ground. Or else I suspend two sheets . . . each sheet being connected with one of the terminals of the coil, and their size being carefully determined. An exhausted tube may then be carried in the hand anywhere between the sheets or placed anywhere, even a certain distance beyond them; it remains always luminous." The principle of electrostatic induction is applicable to the electrical conduction wireless transmission method.
38 | P a g e

In some cases when small amounts of energy are required the high elevation of the terminals, and more particularly of the receiving-terminal D', may not be necessary, since, especially when the frequency of the currents is very high, a sufficient amount of energy may be collected at that terminal by electrostatic induction from the upper air strata, which are rendered conducting by the active terminal of the transmitter or through which the currents from the same are conveyed."

5.3 Non-Radiative Energy Transfer is Safe for People and Animals

Wireless Electricity technology is a non-radioactive mode of energy transfer, relying instead on the magnetic near field. Magnetic fields interact very weakly with biological organisms people and animalsand are scientifically regarded to be safe. Professor Sir John Pendry of Imperial College London, a world renowned physicist, explains: "The body really responds strongly to electric fields, which is why you can cook a chicken in a microwave. But it doesn't respond to magnetic fields. As far as we know the body has almost zero response to magnetic fields in terms of the amount of power it absorbs." Evidence of the safety of magnetic fields is illustrated by the widespread acceptance and safety of household magnetic induction cook tops. Through proprietary design of the Wireless Electricity source, electric fields are almost completely contained within the source. This design results in levels of electric and magnetic fields which fall well within regulatory guidelines. Thus Wireless Electricity technology doesn't give rise to radio frequency emissions that interfere with other electronic devices, and is not a source of electric and magnetic field levels that pose a risk to people or animals. Limits for human exposure to magnetic fields are set by regulatory bodies such as the FCC, ICNIRP, and are based on broad scientific and medical consensus. Wireless Electricity technology is being developed to be fully compliant with applicable regulations regarding magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation.

5.4 Scalable Design Enables Solutions from milliwatts to Kilowatts

Wireless Electricity systems can be designed to handle a broad range of power levels. The benefits of highly efficient energy transfer over distance can be achieved at power levels
39 | P a g e

ranging from milliwatts to several kilowatts. This enables Wireless Electricity technology to be used in applications as diverse as powering a wireless mouse or keyboard (mill watts) to recharging an electric passenger vehicle (kilowatts). Wireless Electricity technology operates in a "load following" mode, transferring only as much energy as the powered device requires.

5.5 Flexible Geometry Allows Wireless Electricity Devices to be embedded Into OEM Products
Wireless Electricity technology is being designed so that it can be easily embedded into a wide variety of products and systems. The physics of resonant magnetic coupling enables Wireless Electricity engineers to design power sources and devices of varying shapes and sizes, to match both the packaging requirements and the power transfer requirements in a given OEM application. Wireless Electricity has designed power capture devices compact enough to fit into a cell phone.

CHAPTER 6: Questionnaire

The concept being so new and innovative brings in so many questions. Hereafter, some questions are being answered on the basis of study done on the topic and relevant topics.

Is Wireless Electricity technology safe? Human beings or other objects placed between the transmitter and receiver do not hinder the transmission of power. Wireless Electricity technology is a non-radiative mode of energy transfer, relying instead on the magnetic near field. Magnetic fields interact very weakly with biological organismspeople and Animalsand are scientifically regarded to be safe. Wireless Electricity products are being designed to comply with applicable safety standards and regulations. How much power can be transferred? Till now, Scientists has been able to transfer more than 60W power. The technology by itself is capable of scaling from applications requiring milliwatts to those requiring several kilowatts of power. Over what distance can Wireless Electricity technology transfer power? Wireless Electricity technology is designed for "mid-range" distances, which we consider to be anywhere from a centimeter to several meters. The actual operating range for a given application is determined by many factors, including power source and capture device sizes, desired efficiency, and the amount of power to be transferred. How efficient is Wireless Electricity technology? The power transfer efficiency of a Wireless Electricity solution depends on the relative sizes of the power source and capture devices, and on the distance between the devices. Maximum efficiency is achieved when the devices are relatively close to one another, and can exceed 80%.

41 | P a g e

What's the Future of Wireless Electricity? MIT's Wireless Electricity is only 40 to 45% efficient and according to Soljacic, they have to be twice as efficient to compete with the traditional chemical batteries. The team's next aim is to get a robotic vacuum or a laptop working, charging devices placed anywhere in the room and even robots on factory floors. The researchers are also currently working on the health issues related to this concept and have said that in another three to five years time, they will come up with a Wireless Electricity system for commercial use.

42 | P a g e

CHAPTER 7: Conclusion
The transmission of power without wires is not a theory or a mere possibility, it is now a reality. The electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to specific terrestrial distance. Many researchers have established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. Dr. N. Tesla is the pioneer of this invention. Wireless transmission of electricity have tremendous merits like high transmission integrity and Low Loss (90 97% efficient) and can be transmitted to anywhere in the globe and eliminate the need for an inefficient, costly, and capital intensive grid of cables, towers, and substations. The system would reduce the cost of electrical energy used by the consumer and get rid of the landscape of wires, cables, and transmission towers. It has negligible demerits like reactive power which was found insignificant and biologically compatible. It has a tremendous economic impact to human society.
