Wireless Energy Transfer for Low Power Charging Applications

Wireless energy transfer is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without interconnecting wires. Wireless energy transmission has distinct advantages over the conventional energy transmission which uses wires and connectors. The most common form of wireless power transmission is through inductive coupling in which the magnetic field generated by a primary coil is coupled to a secondary coil so that electrical voltage can be induced in the secondary coil. This project will focus on the development of a prototype to achieve high efficiency energy transfer over relatively short distances. The objective is to develop a system for charging batteries in applications involving mobile electronic devices.
