What do you mean by WiTricity!!!

The Transfer of Electricity from one place to another without wires is known as WiTricity. On June 7 07, a team of researchers at MIT announced the successful operation of WiTricity concept. They had lit up a 60W bulb with a power source at a distance of 7 feet(over 2m) with no wires.

History of wireless power

In 1891, 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.

In 2005, Dave Gerding coined the term WiTricity which is being used today. Forgotton invention was reborn in 2007

Need of witricity

Cell phones, i pods, laptop computers are capable of re-charging themselves without ever being plugged in.

MY INPUT TO THE TOPIC

Is WiTricity safe? How much power can be transferred? What about the range of transferred? How efficient is WiTricity? What's the Future of WiTricity?

Efficiency
The rate of energy transfer between the emitter and the receiver is greater than the rate of energy dissipation. Efficiency is mesured by measuring the current at the midpoint of the self resonant coils with a current probe. This gives a measurement of the current parameters

Efficiency chart
We then compute power dissipated in each coil from: Then the efficiency can be calculated .

WiTricity Applications
Direct Wireless Power No device needs wires Immobile devices Automatic Wireless Charging Device with rechargeable batteries charges itself Mobile device Used in and out of range of its WiTricity power source

Some more Applications.

Consumer Electronics

Industrial

Transportation

Miscellaneous

Advantages:
Safe, fairly efficient, good range: Magnetic fields interact weakly with biological masses (humans), Efficiency can be increased with time, most of the 60% lost is from heat radiated from the coils. Theoretically one stationary coil in a room could power multiple devices with receiving coils. No more messy wires, and with widespread enough use it could even eliminate costly batteries.

How Safe is WiTricity?

Human beings or other objects placed between the transmitter and receiver do not hinder the transmission of power. However, does magnetic coupling or resonance coupling have any harmful effects on humans? magnetic fields tend to interact very weakly with the biological tissues of the body, and so are not prone to cause any damage to any living beings.

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.

What's the Future of WiTricity?

MIT's WiTricity is only 40 to 45% efficient and they have to be twice as efficient to compete with the traditional chemical batteries. Aim is to get a robotic vacuum or a laptop working, charging devices placed anywhere in the room The researchers have said that in another five years time, they will come up with a WiTricity system for commercial use.
