Wireless Transmission of Electricity
Wireless Transmission of Electricity
Introduction
The transmission of power without wires for electricity transmission. Any system where electromagnetic energy is transmitted from a power source (such as a Tesla coil) to an electrical load, without interconnecting wires. Wireless transmission is employed in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. There is a distinction from electromagnetic transmission for the purpose of transferring information (radio), where the amount of power transmitted is only important when it affects the integrity of the signal.
History
WET has been around since about 1856 in the form of mutual induction. As wireless telecommunications technologies were being developed during the early 1900s. At the St. Louis World's Fair (1904), a prize was offered for a successful attempt to drive an 0.1 Horsepower airship motor by energy transmitted through space at a distance of least 100 feet. The Electrician (London), September 1902.

Applications
The transmission of information: Several 20th century technology that use wireless power included AM, FM, and TV broadcasting. The transmission of power: Devices using this principle to charge portable consumer electronics such as cell phones are commercially available.
Additional Remarks
Many concepts, research papers,
patents are available on wireless transmission of electricity. The most research work were carried out in isolation, so it needs a joint collaborative efforts to get a very useful results on this advanced technology on power transmission. This will be beneficial for mankind globally in future.
Merits...
Economics of WET: The system would reduce the cost of electrical energy used by the consumer and rid the landscape of wires, cables, and transmission towers. High Transmission Integrity & Low Loss:
The efficiency of the transmission can be as high as 96 or 97 per cent, and there are practically no losses.
Demerits
Biological Impact:
As the frequency is very small and such a frequency is very biologically compatible .
Economic Impact:
The concept looks to be costly initially. The investment cost of Tesla Tower was $150,000.
Conclusion
Dr. N.Tesla
a mere possibility, it is now a reality. The electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance. Many researchers have established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. Dr.N.Tesla is the pioneer of this invention.
