 The first mover and
innovator
Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943)
“Nikola Tesla, the eccentric - and
unbelievably under-rated - genius known
as the ‘wild man of electronics’, was
without doubt one of the greatest minds in
the history of the human race.”

• Born in Austro-Hungary (now Croatia) in 1856, Tesla constructed his

first induction motor in 1883 and immigrated to America in 1884 -
arriving in New York with worldly goods totaling four cents, a pocket
full of poems, carefully worked calculations for a flying machine, and a
head full of strange dreams.
• Tesla began working with Thomas Edison, but the two men were
worlds apart in both their science and cultures (the fact that Tesla's
alternating-current concept posed a direct threat to sales of Edison's
direct-current devices probably didn't help) and they soon went their
separate ways.
• Tesla invented the alternating-current generator that provides your
light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even
the high voltage coil of your picture tube. The Tesla Coil, in fact, is
used in radios, television sets, and a wide range of other electronic
equipment - invented in 1891, no-one's ever come up with anything
 The forgotten invention is
reborn in 2007
The idea of wireless electricity
has been around since the early
days of the Tesla coil. But thanks
to a group of MIT scientists,
"WiTricity" (as these scientists
call it) is now one step closer to
practical reality.
Demonstrating the ability to
power a 60-watt light bulb from a
power source seven feet away
without wires might not seem like
the most impressive of feats, but
the technology behind it has
massive implications for how we
live our tech-filled, power-hungry
lives. Imagine a day when your
laptop, MP3 or player are

Splashpower Ltd. is a United

Kingdom-based company founded in
June 2001. It has been attempting to
develop technology for wireless
charging of portable devices such as
mobile phones, personal digital
assistants, mp3 players and cameras.
Their system works through
electromagnetic induction, adding a free
positioning induction loop (at the
“SplashPad") to the conventional fix
induction loop at the wall plug (used to
shift between AC and DC currents).
According to the company's claims,
rechargeable devices equipped with a
small Splash Module are placed upon a

 Incremental or Disruptive
• We believe wireless electricity incremental
because it was innovated at the end of the 1800’s
and only last year it was improved to a new
technology.
• We can also say that it may become disruptive
because if a strong enough product is developed
it will wipe out the demand for chargers.
Therefore charging will become universal.
