...Over the next decade, the most vibrant Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) markets will involve the contactless charging of portable and mobile equipment, in particular consumer electronics and electric vehicles. Today, development teams worldwide are stretching the boundaries of physics using available components to create systems that are able to compete with the efficiencies of wired solutions while offering the conveniences of wire free connections. In the 1890's famous scientist and engineer Nikola Tesla dreamt of wireless transfer of power. He envisioned a world, in which all electricity is transferred wirelessly, but the idea was more or less abandoned and highly efficient copper cables became the basis for modern electricity infrastructure. Then, a few years ago, Marin Soljačić, an assistant professor of physics at MIT, was dragged out of bed by the insistent beeping of a cell phone. In his exhausted state, he wished the phone would just begin charging itself as soon as it was brought into the house. So, Soljačić started searching for ways to transmit power wirelessly. Soljačić found magnetic resonance a promising means of electricity transfer because magnetic fields travel freely through air yet have little effect on the environment or, at the appropriate frequencies, on living beings. Working with MIT physics professors John Joannopoulos and Peter Fisher and three students, he devised a simple setup that wirelessly powered a 60-watt light bulb. The MIT work has attracted...

...Synopsis On Wireless Transmission of Energy Using Tesla Coil Submitted by:- Komal Bhorkar (B-1) Pranjali Ramtekkar (B-3) Sonal Thakre (B-7) Satyam Divecha (B-61) B.E VII SEMESTER Under Guidance of:- Prof. J.G.Chaudhary DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING G. H. RAISONI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, NAGPUR. (An autonomous institute under UGC Act 1956 & affiliated to RTMNU) Abstract Tesla coils are unique in the fact that they create extremely powerful electrical fields. Our objective is to use this field to light up florescent light placed at some distance and because of the fact that it is an electric field that goes directly into the light and doesn't use the electrodes; even burned-out florescent lights will glow. The significant part of our proposed plan is that power is transferred wirelessly. The field produced is without any radiations and hence is harmless to human beings. I. Introduction Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla Coil, a type of air-cored resonant transformer, which is used to generate high voltage and high frequency electrical currents. Tesla coils are used to produce high-voltage, low-current, and high-frequency alternating-current. It can produce higher voltages than other artificial sources of high-voltage discharges and electrostatic machines. It takes the output from a 230vAC to several kilovolt transformer & driver circuit and steps it up to an extremely high voltage. II. Basic Scheme of Tesla Coil A Tesla coil is a resonant...

...together and parted ways within a fairly short period of time. Shortly after leaving Edison, George Westinghouse bought Tesla’s patent right to his system of alternating current, where it eventually gained more support than direct current, which was also being touted at the same time as Tesla’s alternating current. Later, Tesla started his own laboratory and began designing his own inventions and shared that information all around the world. In 1900, Tesla discovered terrestrial stationary waves which proved the ground could be used as a conductor for electricity. He performed experiments in which he lit up items more than 20 miles away proving his theory. After this new found discovery, Tesla made big plans to create a tower to provide wireless electricity from Wardenclyffe Transmitter to the local area and began building the tower with the monetary support from an interested investor. To fund the project, Tesla sought out J. P. Morgan, who offered his funding for 51% of Tesla’s patent rights as collateral. Originally, the project was planned to be completed within nine months, but it went beyond that time so JP Morgan pulled his financing. Shortly thereafter “…the project was abandoned because of a financial panic, labour troubles, and...

...Wireless transmission is ideal in cases where instantaneous or continuous energy transfer is needed, but interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past. The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres. Consumers desire a simple universal solution that frees them from the hassles of plug-in chargers and adaptors."Wireless power technology has the potential to deliver on all of these needs."However, transferring the power is the important part of the solution. With wireless energy transfer, the efficiency is a more critical parameter and this creates important differences from the wireless data transmission technologies. To avoid the conflicts like recharging and carrying its appliances of electrical and electronic devices, wireless power transmission is desirable. Wireless power transmission was originally proposed to avoid long distance electrical distribution based mainly on copper cables. This can be achieved by using microwave beams and the rectifying antenna, which can receive electromagnetic radiation and convert it efficiently to DC electricity. Researchers have developed several techniques for moving electricity over long distances without wires. Some exist only as theories or prototypes, but others are already in use. Magnetic resonance was found a promising means of electricity transfer because magnetic...

...entry 1. Current Market situation Analysis of the current market situation determined that the technology developed by EXIJO is not entirely innovative. Similar product prototypes already exist (Qiwireless.com). There are two dominant players in the market: the Alliance for Wireless Power together with The Power Matters Alliance (A4WP and PMA) and Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which are doing R&D in the field of wireless technologies. Each organisation has its own wireless charging technology, Rezence-based and Qi-wireless charging technology respectively. There is also WiTricity Technology presented by a company with the same name that is also part of the PMA. While the first alliance pays more attention to the application of wireless charging technology for the outside home and office usage, the WPC is promoting the technology for the inside home application. This difference is due to specialisation of the companies that are in the alliances. One of the most important members of the WPC is Philips, it uses the Qi-wireless charging technology for the kitchen appliances. However, the product has not been launched yet. The main difference is that Philips is aimed at creating a fully-wireless kitchen appliances rather than concentrating only on blenders and mixers. Another difference is that the inductive power source of the existing Philips prototype is built into the kitchen’s countertop just directly underneath the particular piece of equipment compared to the EXIJO’s...

...Paper Wireless Electricity Imagine the following scenario unfolding. Nick has had a long day at work on Friday and is ready to go home. The whole twenty minute drive home all he can think about is how excited he is to take his family on a weekend trip to the beach. As he pulls into his driveway, he notices that the front light isn’t on like usual, but the fact is quickly lost in his mind as a thousand other thoughts are clamoring for his attention. Just as he steps through the threshold of the door, his phone goes off. It’s his wife. Something’s come up, their daughter isn’t feeling well. She tells Nick that they are at the local hospital and is about to tell him to pick something important up at the pharmacy when his phone dies. Panic sets in. The first thought that leaps into his head is what happened to his daughter. The second is what is he supposed to get to help her. After a couple minutes of searching around his house for a charger, Nick is finally able to call his wife back and discover that he was supposed to pick up the allergy medicine his daughter needs. While this situation may seem a bit more dramatic than a normal situation, dead cellphone batteries, and any battery for that matter, are becoming a familiar headache in a wireless world. But what if this headache had a cure? Imagine that instead of Nick’s phone dying once he got home, it started instantly charging once he entered his house. No cord or cable needed, just wireless electricity...

...Running head: WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER 1 Wireless Power Transfer: Past, Present, Future and the Impacts of Wireless Technology Running head: WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER 2 A common question asked of wireless power transfer is “Is it safe”. In the beginning, early press described this technology as being “electricity in the air” which contributed to heightening the fears of the public. The general public was under the assumption that wireless power could possibly expose them to huge amounts of dangerous electromagnetic fields when using these systems. Through proper design it is possible to keep stray electric and magnetic fields well within the same recognized human safety limits that regulate all electromagnetic consumer devices to include cell phones, wireless routers, Bluetooth headphones, etc. (Kesler, 2013). Safety limits for human exposure to electromagnetic fields is established through a continuous review of scientific evidence of the impact these fields have on human health (Kesler, 2013). In the near future, the World Health Organization is projected to issue its own guidelines for human exposure limits to electromagnetic fields. Until those guidelines are released, the majority of national regulations, including the World Health Organization, reference the human exposure guidelines set forth by the Institute of Electrical...
