Wireless Electricity

What if devices like cellphone, laptops, even electric vehicles are capable of re-charging themselves without ever being plugged in?

Now this is possible to re-charge those devices without plugged in with the help of  new technology called WiTricity a portmanteau for Wireless Electricity.

WiTricity is commercializing a technology developed by MIT that spends power through the air(wierelessly) to run devices like laptops, DVD players, cell phones, and other common electronics. The technology involves a circuit that converts standard AC electricity to a higher frequency and feeds it to a WiTricity source. The current inside the source includes an oscillating magnetic field. The WiTricity device to be powered is tuned to the same frequency as the source and in a process called"resonant magnetic coupling," power is transferred form the source to the device. The energy of the oscillating magnetic field than includes an electrical current in the WiTricity device, lighting the bulb. WiTricity source is installed in the ceiling and each electronic product must have a WiTricity device to receive power.



How it works?

When electric current is passed through a coil of wire a powerful electromagnetic field is created around it. Electronic devices would pic up the power when brought into the room
