INTRODUCTION
 WITRICITY  Wire less electricity

 The technique of transmitting power without using

wires with an efficiency up to 95% with non-
radiative methods.

 The Transmission of electrical energy from one

object to another without wires.
History of Wireless Power:
 In 1899, Sir Nikola Tesla
Proposed a method of Wireless
Power Transmission. As it was a
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.
PRINCIPLE BEHIND WITRICITY
It is based on the simple physics principle that “Energy can be
transferred wirelessly by utilizing magnetically coupled
resonance”.
Strong coupling between electromagnetic resonant objects
causes transferring of energy wirelessly between them.
 Resonant coupling occurs when natural frequencies of two
objects are approximately same. It involves a pair of copper
coils for the energy transmission
How it would look and work in your office or bedroom
The first mover and innovator
Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943)
“Nikola Tesla, the eccentric - and unbelievably under-
rated - genius known as the ‘wild man of electronics’,
was without doubt one of the greatest minds in the
history of the human race.”
 He investigated radio transmission and
reception and designed his own
transmitter
 Used this same coupled-tuned-circuit
oscillator to implement his non-radiative
conduction-based wireless energy
transfer.
 Later it was forwarded by MIT SCIENTISTS
 MIT’S EXPERIMENT
 In 2006,5 members team of
researchers of MIT experimentally
demonstrated transfer electricity
with out wires
 They were able to lit a 60W bulb
,from a source placed 7 feet away
with absolutely no physical contact
between the bulb and the power.
 The team also demonstrated how
the magnetic near field can transfer
power though certain materials and
metallic obstacles.
Witricity vs. Radiative power transfer
Many wireless information
broadcasting uses radiation of
radio frequency energy.
It is an inefficient means of
power transfer because the vast
majority of radiated power is
wasted into free space.
Witricity technology for power
transfer is non-radiative & relies
on near field magnetic coupling.
 FEATURES

 Highly Resonant Strong Coupling Provides High

Efficiency Over Distance.

Flexible geometry for being embedded.

 Highly secure on exposure to Human.

Line of sight rule need not to be followed.

 EFFICIENCY
The efficiency of such system depends upon :

Relative size of the power source and the capture device.

Distance between the devices.

As common building and furnishing materials are essentially

“transparent ”to magnetic fields they enable witricity
technology to efficiently transfer power through them.

The power not absorbed by the capture device comes back to

the power source and gets absorbed by it.

 Pros
•Significant decluttering of office
space.
•No need for meter rooms and
electrical closets.
•Reduction of e-waste by
eliminating the need for power
cords.
•Need more light , no need for
electrician. Simply place the lamp
wherever needed.
Cons
•Need for standardization and
adaptation.
•Retrofitting old equipment or
purchasing new equipment
could become a very expensive
endeavor.
•Possibility of “energy theft”. Wi
Fi, someone can be using your
internet or your power.
ADVANTAGES

1. No need of line of sight in witricity power transmission

2. Less costly - The components of transmitter and receivers
are cheaper. So this system is less costly.

DISADVANTAGES
1. Wireless power transmission can be possible only in few
meters.
2. Efficiency is only about 40%.
 CONCLUSION
 We can envisage a future in which the world of
wireless arrives with witricity.

 Witricity corp. is working to make this future a

reality, developing wireless electricity
technology that will operate safely and
efficiently over long distances ranging from m
to km and will deliver power ranging from mW
to kW.
