History of Wirreless Power:

In 1899, Sir Nikola Tesla Proposed a method of Wireless Power Transmission. As it is in Radiative mode, most of the Power was wasted and has less efficiency.

The

efficient midrange power transfer concept is Witricity. In this model source and load are in Magnetic resonance so there is no power loss.

What is WiTricity:

Witricity is nothing but wireless electricity. Transmission of electric energy from one object to another without the use of wires

Need of Witricity:
Now a days there is a Rapid development of autonomous electronics like Laptops, Cell-phones, House-hold robots and all those devices typically rely on chemical energy storage(Battery) As they are becoming daily needs to present generation, Wire less energy transfer would be useful for many applications as above and they need midrange energy.

Basic Principle:
The basic principle involved in Witricity concept is, Two objects having same resonating frequency and in Magnetic resonance at Strongly coupled regime tend to exchange energy , while dissipating relatively little energy to the extraneous offresonant objects.

Witricity Technology:
Witricity power sources and capture devices are specially designed magnetic resonators that efficiently transfer power over large distances via the magnetic near-field. ------- : the magnetic near field induced by the power source. ------- : the flow of energy from the source to the capture coil.

Experimental Design:
Our experimental scheme consists of two Self-resonant coils. One coil (source coil) is coupled inductively to an oscillating circuit; the other (device coil) is coupled inductively to a resistive load. Self-resonant coils rely on the interplay between distributed inductance and distributed capacitance to achieve resonance.

Advantages:
Unaffected by the day night cycle, weather or seasons.

This is an eco friendly system..

Dont hinder when an object or human comes in between.

Limitations:
The resonance condition should be satisfied and if any error exists, there is no possibility of power transfer. If there is any possibility of very strong ferromagnetic material presence causes low power transfer due to radiation.

Conclusion:
Witricity ,if successful will definitely change the way we live. Imagine cell phones, digital cameras ,laptops getting self charged! Engineers have got job in hand to research and commercialize the technology.
