    Witricity is a technology that wirelessly transfers electricity between devices using magnetic fields. It was first demonstrated in 1964 and involves powering devices through magnetic loop antennas without the need for wires. Researchers at MIT have powered devices like light bulbs from distances of up to 2 meters using this technology and are working to improve its efficiency and applications, with the goal of powering devices without the need for plugs or batteries.

    Witricity

    Devon Greco

    What is Witricity?
    Electricity without wires Magnetic loop antennas Electromagnetic near-field

    History of Witricity
    Originally demonstrated in 1964 on CBS using model helicopter 1969-1975 30 kW over 1 mile at 84% efficiency

    How does Witricity Work?


    Near-field inductive coupling through magnetic fields Interact weakly with surrounding objects (biological tissue)

    Witricity Today
    MIT powered 60 watt light bulb from 2 meters (7 ft) at 40% efficiency MIT researchers working on improving the technology

    Witricity Tomorrow

    1) Power from mains to antenna, which is made of copper 2) Resonates 10MHz (electromagnetic waves) 3) Tunnel up to 2m (6.5ft) 4) Electricity received by antenna, also resonating at 10MHz. 5) Energy not transferred to laptop re-absorbed by source antenna. People/other objects not affected as not resonating at 10MHz

    Witricity Concerns
    Will it harm me? Will it harm the environment? Will it interfere with important communication?
