Most of us at home may be using multi-plug to connect all the electronic devices with power cords.

You may have even got confused to get the right cord for unplugging it among the other cords that lead to the same outlet.

At last you pull one out and hope that it is the right one. This is one of the main problems with electric connections. Though it makes the life of people simpler, it can also cause more clutter in the method. It may not be a big problem for us. But think about the electric stations where hundreds of wires run from the same outlet. For them, it is a problem.

As a part of the upgrade in technology and also the above reasons, researchers have started developing methods to transmit electricity to devices wirelessly. Though the method may sound completely new, the basic idea behind this theory was first proposed by Nicola Tesla in the early 1900s. He was also able to release a prototype by transmitting power to lights that were kept in the ground at his Colorado Springs experiment station. Though the first prototype received wide applause, the method was not practical enough for a higher range of its application. After years of research, many theories about this matter were discussed and some prototypes were also released. Some of them were not recognized while some of them are already in use. The best example for such a device is the electric toothbrush.

There are many types of wireless data transferring mediums in this world. Some of the most common ones are infrared, radio waves, Bluetooth, and so on. In all these technologies, the signals will be scattered into space before they are received by the corresponding devices. The same method cannot be used for transferring electricity as it is power consuming and dangerous. The main principle that is used in electric toothbrush is called Inductive Coupling. The basic idea is that a magnetic field is induced when an electric current flows through a wire. The magnetic field will be circular in shape and will flow around the wire. When another coil is placed in the same magnetic field, a current will be induced in the wire.

This is the same principle that is used in a transformer and also in the electric brush. A magnetic field is created inside the brush through the current that moves through the coil inside the charger. When the brush is connected to the charger, another current will be produced in another coil, due to the magnetic field. This current is supplied to the battery which is the input for the brush.

But this method is not practical when it comes to transmitting energy to longer distances. For such a method, it is necessary that the coils are close enough to each other so that the small magnetic field is produced.

When it comes to longer distance transmission, a very big magnetic field is to be produced and the coil turnings should be multiple. Counter measures should be taken to save the energy wasted due to the flow of magnetic field in different directions. This is practically impossible. A much better method and its explanation are given below.
