Working Principle

If said in simple words the device is taking low voltage (6v) and 1amp of Current but after passing it
through the joule thief circuit the voltage is increase to a great extent. Then there is spark gap which
is basically used for controlling the voltage of the primary coil, it also helps by providing some time
to the capacitor to get charged. Once the capacitor is charged the charge is released as a spark.

The current passes through the primary coil and as the voltage is high the magnetic field is strong
and the secondary coil – which is the device where the power is to be transmitted wirelessly, collects
the energy by eddy current. So, its like a transformer without a core, and the primary coil and
secondary coil are free to move with respect to each other but only in a given range.

Social Value of the Project


Current implantable devices in the medical field have improved greatly in the past few years
becoming smaller and more effective at their jobs, but there is one area where they are still slacking.
These devices all rely on implantable batteries to power them. These batteries are either inside the
device or are simply attached to the device inside the chest cavity. These batteries are designed to
last around 10 years but, can be more or less depending on the needs of the patient they are
implanted in. When the batteries get a low charge or die the patient is required to get surgery to
replace either the battery itself or the entire device. This is considered a minor surgery but, still
there is risk involved especially with devices like Pacemakers and Internal Defibrillators which
involve surgery around the heart.

But with wireless power we can use a rechargeable battery system and charge it when the batter
goes down, helping the patient avoid a surgery.
