Description
This project aims to create a wireless power transfer system that will charge a cellphone while within a particular proximity of the power transmission system. The idea is to create a system that eliminates the need to plug a cellular device into an electrical outlet. Our power transfer method uses a critically coupled magnetic resonance connection. With magnetic resonance, the necessity of close proximity required for traditional inductive systems such as those currently used for wireless cell phone charging is removed. All that is needed for this additional range of freedom is a specialized cellphone case, transmitter, and hopper coil. Eventually, this technology could also be used to power anything from RFIDs to small appliances, TVs, and laptops.
