you are worried due to power losses during power trasmission through WIRES. A new era had begun, where people are going to transfer POWER without any wires in SPACE. It will change the world into no wires and no batteries.

3.  The transmission of power from one place to
another without using wires, cables or chords
 But, the wireless power transmission is made
possible by using various technologies like
microwaves, lasers and EM waves

4.  As per studies, most electrical energy transfer
is through wires.
 Most of the energy loss is during
transmission
• On an average, more than 30%
• In India, it exceeds 40%

5. History of WPT: Tesla’s Expt
 In 1899, 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.
 The efficient midrange power
transfer concept is Witricity. In
this model source and load are in
Magnetic resonance so there is no
power loss.

CONCEPT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE:
When an electric current passes through a wire, there is an
electric field & magnetic field in the dielectric surrounding
the conductor .
The electric field of a circuit over which energy flows has
three main axes which are mutually perpendicular to each
other:
a. The magnetic field, concentric with the conductor.
b. The lines of electric force, radial to the conductor.
c. The power gradient, parallel to the conductor.

7. RESONANCE COUPLING
 A group of theoretical physicists at MIT came up with the idea to use
resonant induction to transmit power wirelessly led by Dr. Marin Soljacic.
“Resonance", a phenomenon that causes an object to vibrate when
energy of a certain frequency is applied.

Inductive Coupling:
 It uses magnetic fields that is produced due to current's movement
through- wire. Bending the wire into a coil amplifies the magnetic field.
The more loops the coil makes, the bigger the field will be.
 This is the principle how a transformer works.
Using it an electric toothbrush recharged. It takes three basic steps:
1. Current from the wall outlet flows through a coil inside the
charger, creating a magnetic field. In a transformer, this coil is called
the primary winding.
2. When you place your toothbrush in the charger, the magnetic field
induces a current in another coil, or secondary winding, which
connects to the battery.
3. This current recharges the battery.

15. 15
Need of Resonant coupling:
Non-resonant coupled inductors(transformers,)work on the
principle of inductive coupling is of short range power transfer &
requires a magnetic core. Over greater distances the NRI Method is
highly inefficient and wastes the majority of the energy in resistive
losses of the primary coil.
Hence concept of resonant coupling comes where two coils are
tuned to a particular frequency called resonating frequency &
absorb optimal energy.

Comparison with other technologies:
In conventional transformers, for inductive transfer
efficiency around 80% at short range
 in witricity tightly coupled conventional transformers
has efficiency around 90-95% .
In addition, where batteries need periodic maintenance
and replacement, resonant energy transfer can be used
instead. So pollution due to Batteries during their
construction and their disposal is largely avoided.
