Abstract
Wireless charging of gadgets is one of the new emerging technologies in the world at the
moment. The most common method used at the moment is wireless power transfer by
inductive coupling. . Wireless power transfer is one of the simplest and inexpensive ways of
charging as it eliminate the use of conventional copper cables and current carrying wires. In this
project write up, a methodology and principle of operation are devised for wireless power
transfer through inductive coupling, and a feasible design is modeled accordingly. The inductive
coupling technique is used since currently it’s the easiest method of wireless power transfer
because of high efficiency and large amount of the energy transferred. In the report paper,
results of experiments done to check wireless working will be shown. Also to further show its
versatility and range of applications the power transferred will be used to charge a battery with
the aid of additional circuitry. We will also study the effect of placing hurdles between the
transmitter and receiver so as to establish if it is an alternative in the medical industry for
charging pace makers etc. This research work focuses on the study of wireless power transfer
for the purpose of transferring energy at maximum efficiency within a small range or in the
near field region

Background
If you are using an electronic device perhaps a mobile phone and you need to recharge the
battery then you will probably have to get a charger and connect the phone to the wire. But
what if you could charge it without having to connect it to wire? Meaning power will be
transferred wirelessly. This is possible through a concept called Wireless Power Transmission.
Research and studies have been done ever since the 19th century but it is only recently that
this concept has begun to be implemented. Currently engineers are trying to discover how to
increase the efficiency of power transmitted wirelessly and also methods that that are safe to
human beings and the environment and notwithstanding, methods that are cheaper and hence
can be commercially viable. Though still in the early stages, several electronic companies are
beginning to roll out devices that can wirelessly transmit power. Wireless power transmission
(WPT) is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction works
on the concept of a primary coil generating a predominantly magnetic field and a secondary coil
being within that field so a current is induced within its coils. This causes the relatively short
range due to the amount of power required to produce an electromagnetic field.
Problem Statement
The project seeks to eliminate the use of wires in the transmission of power from the source to
the device to be powered. Although WPT is based on electromagnetic induction, there are
various methods that are used. Some are less efficient than others and costly while others don’t
allow for a longer range of transmission. In this project, it is required to design and construct an
electronic device that shall transmit power within a small range. The device can then be used to
charge batteries for devices like pace makers. In the project a suitable method will be used to
ensure that enough power is transmitted wirelessly so that it can then charge batteries. The
major challenge will be in the coupling circuit which comprises of the coils where
electromagnetic induction occurs. The number of turns of the coil, inductance

Methodology
Wireless charging is based on the principle of magnetic resonance, or Inductive Power Transfer
(IPT). This process of transporting an electrical current between two objects can be achieved
through the use of coils to induce an electromagnetic field. So, to understand the Concepts
behind the wireless Charging, we have to go get familiar with the terminologies associated with
it. The transfer of Energy from the charger to Mobile is accomplished by mutual induction,
governed by the Faradays law of Induction.

Faraday successfully proved that if the strength of the magnetic field is varied then only the
induced current is produced. The strength of magnetic field can be assumed to be the number of
magnetic field lines passing through a particular area. This is also called as Magnetic Flux.

Example

 INDUCTIVE CHARGING IS USED FOR CHARGING MID-SIZED ITEMS SUCH AS

 CELL PHONES

 MP3 PLAYERS

 ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH

 SMART WATCHES
Working
Wireless charging works by transferring energy from the charger to a receiver in the back of
the phone via electromagnetic induction. The charger uses an induction coil to create an
alternating electromagnetic field, which the receiver coil in the phone converts back into
electricity to be fed into the battery.
Results
The most common form of wireless charging available right
now is inductive charging. In simple terms, inductive charging
creates a small electromagnetic field around a transmitter.
This field is picked up by a receiver that converts the field to
power and passes it to a device or battery.
Advantages
 The need of different types of chargers by different manufacturers is totally
eliminated

 Lower risk of ELECTRICAL SHOCK or shorting.

 Convenience

 Wireless energy transfer can potentially recharge the mobile phones

without chords.
Disadvantages
 The transmitter and receiver also should be very powerful devices as the
distance increases.

 Slower Charging.

 Wireless transmission of the energy causes some drastic effects to human

body, because of its radiation.

 More costly.

 Practical possibilities are not yet applicable as there is no much

advancement in this field.

Conclusion
In some ways, wireless charging is actually safer than plugging in a device. Wireless
charging transmits power without contact with exposed electrical connectors. This reduces
failure and possibility of electric shocks, and allows for electrical devices to be used in more
environments. For example, electric toothbrushes can be used in bathrooms as the electrical
components can be fully encased in plastic and protected. Medical devices can be charged
without invasive procedures.
