What is it?
Based on electromagnetic induction (using conductive

materials in coils to create a magnetic field)

Resonant Magnetic Coupling: when two objects exchange energy through their varying or oscillating magnetic fields. -Natural frequencies of the two objects are approximately the same.

Electrical Resonance
Tendency of a circuit system to oscillate at a maximum amplitude for a certain resonance frequency. Likely to occur when impedance between input and output is minimized. Increases the strength of interaction between two related devices

HOW WIRELESS POWER WORKS ?

Magnetic coil (Antenna A) is housed in a box and can be set in wall or ceiling. Antenna A, powered by mains, resonates at a specific frequency. Electromagnetic waves transmitted through the air. Second magnetic coil (Antenna B) fitted in laptop/TV etc resonates at same frequency as first coil and absorbs energy. Energy charges the device.

In Lay-mans language
Wireless electricity is the transfer of power to a

device over the air.

It will allow devices to be powered or charged (with the

proper wireless attachments) without being plugged into a wall outlet or docked in a charging station.

How It Will Be Used

Wireless electricity can be used to power or recharge:

Cell Phones TVs Computers Electric Cars Cordless Tools Industrial Machinery Medical Devices (pacemakers, etc.) Military Devices (unmanned robots, planes) Consumer Appliances

Future Uses In Business

More Efficient Office Buildings/Factories Entire office buildings will run on wireless electricity
Employees computers, cell phones, printers will all stay

charged throughout the business day

Electric appliances will not have to be placed around

power outlets; running cords is no longer a hassle

Current Uses
Wireless charging pads
Electric Toothbrushes Both of these techniques use small electric fields to

charge the devices. Haier America Digital Products group has already developed a HDTV that transmits electricity and the HD signal, making the TV completely wireless

Current Trends
Mobile Devices
Nokia Lumia 920 Samsung galaxy S4 Up-coming release of iPhone Up-coming release of LG Optimus NFC tags built, that would absorb energy from the EM

waves. Hence utilizing energy

Benefits
More Reliable/Less Costly

- Never run out of battery power in wireless zones - Power transfers more efficiently than through wires More Convenient - No more changing batteries - No messy cords Environmentally Friendly - Reduces the use of disposable batteries - Reduces energy loss

Areas of improvement
As the distance between the coupling solenoids

increases, the losses also increases rapidly Device have to be kept in contact (for now), so that losses occurring are negligible Has biological affects, long time exposure affects functionality In case of impedance mismatch, wastage of resources takes place

Cost?
Cost is still undetermined
What they say is there are no exotic materials being

used that would make it overly expensive Prices should be comparable to products already out
