Wireless Power Transmission Explained

Wireless power transfer involves transmitting electrical energy through electromagnetic fields without physical connections like wires. In a wireless power system, a transmitter device generates an electromagnetic field that transmits power across space to a receiver device. This technology can increase mobility and convenience by eliminating the need for wires and batteries. Wireless power techniques use either near fields through inductive coupling of coils or far fields through beams of radiation like microwaves. Near field inductive coupling is widely used to charge devices like smartphones and electric toothbrushes.

Wireless Power Transmission
Wireless power transfer (WPT), wireless
power transmission, wireless energy
transmission (WET), or electromagnetic
power transfer is the transmission of
electrical energy without wires as a physical
link.
In a wireless power transmission system, an
electrically powered transmitter device
generates a time-varying electromagnetic
field that transmits power across space to a
receiver device; the receiver device extracts
power from the field and supplies it to an
electrical load.
The technology of wireless power
transmission can eliminate the use of the
wires and batteries, thereby increasing the
mobility, convenience, and safety of an
electronic device for all users. Wireless power
transfer is useful to power electrical devices
where interconnecting wires are
inconvenient, hazardous, or are not possible.
Wireless power techniques mainly fall into
two categories:
 Near field
 Far-field
In near field or non-radiative techniques,
power is transferred over short distances by
magnetic fields using inductive coupling
between coils of wire, or by electric fields
using capacitive coupling between metal
electrodes. Inductive coupling is the most
widely used wireless technology; its
applications include charging handheld
devices like phones and electric
toothbrushes, RFID tags, induction
cooking, and wirelessly charging or
continuous wireless power transfer in
implantable medical devices like artificial
cardiac pacemakers, or electric vehicles.
Inductive charging pad for a smartphone as
an example of near-field wireless transfer.
When the phone is set on the pad, a coil in

the pad creates a magnetic field which


induces a current in another coil, in the
phone, charging its battery.

In far-field or radiative techniques, also


called power beaming, power is transferred
by beams of electromagnetic radiation, like
microwaves or laser beams. These
techniques can transport energy longer
distances but must be aimed at the receiver.

Components
 Transistor
 Resistors
 Copper wires
Concepts

Law of conservation of energy- Energy can


neither be created nor destroyed but it can be
converted from one form to another.
In this project the electric energy is first
converted into magnetic energy which again
gets converted back to electricity. The process
is called as electromagnetic induction
When electric current flows through a closed
circuit it creates a magnetic field around the
circuit. When another closed circuit comes in
that magnetic field the magnetic field induces
an electric current in that circuit too. By
aligning and calibrating the set-up we can
transfer the electric current in an efficient
way without physical contact of the two
circuit coils.
