Wireless transmission is ideal in cases where instantaneous or continuous energy transfer is needed, but interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past. The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres. Consumers desire a simple universal solution that frees them from the hassles of plug-in chargers and adaptors."Wireless power technology has the potential to deliver on all of these needs."However, transferring the power is the important part of the solution.
With wireless energy transfer, the efficiency is a more critical parameter and this creates important differences

This loss implies that our present system of electrical distribution is only 70-74 percent efficient. We have to think of alternate state of art technology to transmit and distribute the electricity. Now a day’s global scenario has been changed a lot and there are tremendous development in every field. If we don’t keep pace with the development of new power technology we have to face a decreasing trend in the development of power sector. The transmission of power without wires may be one noble alternative for electricity transmission.
1. 1The Technologies Available
In this remarkable discovery of the "True Wireless" and the principles upon which transmission and reception, even in the present day systems are based, Dr. Nikola Tesla shows us that he is indeed the "Father of the Wireless."The most well known and famous Tesla Tower was designed and constructed mainly for wireless transmission of electrical power, rather than telegraphy. The most popular concept known is Tesla Theory in which it was firmly believed that Wardenclyffe (see fig 1.1) would permit wireless transmission and reception across large distances with negligible losses. In spite of this he had made numerous experiments of high quality to validate his claim of possibility of wireless transmission of electricity. But this was an unfortunate incidence that people of that century was not in a position to recognise his splendid work otherwise today we may transmit electricity
That power is known as electricity. Keep in mind
2. Wireless or radio broadcasts. 3. Wireless transmission of electricity to any point on the earth.
It demonstrates strong environmental benefits from inter-area transmission and in-situ technology. However, a promising economical benefit is only showcased from the in-situ technology. Clarity between two project also varies significantly. As in-situ technology is more ready to be commercialized, financial demand is addressed clearly. On the contrast, inter-area transmission provides an unclear amount of investment required. This raises the possibility of not being able to successfully support this technology. Again, the investment could require millions, or even billions of dollars, as this project currently raising attention from different
The Railroad and the Pony Express has been the only way to communicate remotely and send correspondence. Joseph Henry and Samuel F.B. Morse would sculpture the future of communication with the invention of the electromagnet and telegraph. Joseph was a graduate of Princeton (Then called the College of New Jersey) as a physicist. The fascination with electricity and magnetism in which he had read reports on from Europe fascinated his desire to research and develop an electromagnet. This shaped our future of electricity as we see it today. With the ability to distinguish between high amperage circuits and high voltage circuits, this laid the baseline for what we know today as “Inductance”. Electrical conductor produces energy by the changing of current or the changing of voltage to produce a strong magnetic force while only using a small battery. By Joseph Henry’s introduction to inductance also paved a path for the invention of electric motors. These advances in technology developed a method for illuminating homes and streets. The use of electricity was spreading almost as fast as the railroad. This improved the lifestyle and functionality of America. (Tindall, Shi
The paramount of his inventions was AC power distribution. Numerous times he had been told such an idea was impossible, yet he was persistent and changed the world once he made his dream come into fruition. At first, Direct Current power had been a revolutionary advanced idea that brought light to the world and started a golden age in technology. Tesla and Thomas Edison were major parties in this contemporary age of electricity. Edison exploited connections, questionable deals, and influence to undermine Tesla and maintain DC relevancy during their time period. However, for today’s modern world and industry AC holds highly superior advantages over DC. Early on, Tesla and Westinghouse realized that for electrical power to be practical, it was essential to be efficiently transmitted over extraordinarily long distances. AC allows the manipulation of higher voltages and therefore lower currents; making lighter conductors a cheaper and viable ameliorate option. Tesla took advantage of electromagnetic induction mechanical
Which is a device that sends electrical currents over long distances through wires, when received
Without the use of Nikola Tesla’s alternating currents our world would be much different. The power grid we use today would be completely different. Direct currents would most likely be the prevailing choice of electricity, meaning to power a large area, power plants would be up almost every mile. Electricity bills would be higher due to the loss of energy during transmission. Without Tesla’s work on AC, homes, workplaces and many devices we consider important (such as fridges and lights) may not be powered as efficiently as we prefer (PBS;
The electrical energy in the battery is converted from stored chemical energy. The electrical energy travels out of the battery and into the object
Born on December 18th 1890, Edwin Armstrong was the son of John Armstrong. From an early age Edwin showed an interest in electrical and mechanical devices. At eleven Guillemots Marconi made the first trans-Atlantic radio transmission, amazed Edwin began to study radio. Through out Edwin’s later life, he was troubled by many different events, the first was his battle for the patent of the regenerative circuit, between him and Lee De Forest. After twenty one years and thirteen court rulings Edwin lost the battle and all the rights to the patent. While fighting for the rights of the regenerative circuit, Edwin Armstrong continued to work hard, to solve problems with the early models of the radio. Edwin started to work on fixing the static problem,
Upon Tesla’s death, Eleanor Roosevelt stated “The President and I are deeply sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Nikola Tesla. We are grateful for his contribution to science and industry and to this country” (Seifer 444). Numerable amounts of books, movies, and documentaries have since tried to propel Tesla’s life into the public eye so his achievements and contributions can be further recognized. People have sculpted monuments of him and streets, cars, and even rock bands have been named after him all to pay homage to the great man and the legacy he left behind. Although Tesla died a penniless man, he has left behind a legacy of influence and a love for not only science but the great possibility of the unknown. People can look at Tesla and hopefully find inspiration to make their own change in the world. Just like electricity, you cannot see him when you simply look around, however, with his influence permanently manifested in society, his dreams will continue to live on all around us. Take a glimpse around you; that is all it takes to realize that without Tesla’s imagination and ingenuity with wireless communications, remote control technology, and AC motors our world would be
Electronics and electricity have come a long way since they were first being discovered. That is not to say that what was originally thought is now wrong or obsolete, but rather has been added to or has been more refined. When most people think of electricity what comes to mind is Ben Franklin with his kite and a key in the middle of the storm. However, that is only one completely minor detail which led to the discovery and the ability to harness and use what was already happening in nature. Only on a scale that could be used by an everyday person. Although it is something we all use every day, most people do not really know who or what has been done in the field of electronics and electricity. Most just take for granted the fact
Electric power transmission or "high-voltage electric transmission" is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to substations located near population centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become high-voltage transmission networks. In the US, these are typically referred to as "power grids" or just "the grid", while in the UK the network is
The human race has advanced a great deal over the course of recent history, particularly so since the 18th century. Countless of these developments in society can be attributed to the achievements of engineers - however, despite this, many do not realise their contribution and importance. One of the fundamental bases behind these engineering feats is the harnessing of energy sources, such as electrical and heat energy. This has allowed for many innovations, for example power stations, transportation, communications and computers, which have all become critical to society and the modern world in which we live.
Transmitting electrical power is by high voltage transmission lines from sending end substation to receiving end substation. At the receiving end substation, the voltage is stepped down to a lower (say 66kV or 33kV or 11kV). Power from this
Imagine travelling away for a vacation without worries when your mobiles or laptops will turn down as they charge automatically along your trip without connectors or cables. Imagine that you could grasp your phone on your way morning and charge it whenever you need, at home, work...etc, wirelessly. It would be better not having charges as we would not have to worry about recycling power cords. It seems that wireless power is the future. However, Is it feasible or a stuff of science fiction?
