Who doesn't like looking down and seeing their phone fully charged? Absolutely no one! Even more so, who wouldn't like ridding themselves of all the charger cords for all their devices? Recently scientists have been researching and testing the idea of wireless energy.
A company by the name of WiTricity is working on making wireless energy for multiple uses. The technology is the transferring of electric energy or power over a distance without any wires. If they could achieve this feat our entire way of charging and powering up devices totally changes.
Key aspects of the technology
- Electricity - The flow of electrons (current) through a conductor (like a wire), or charges through the atmosphere (like lightning). A convenient way for energy to get from one place to another!
- Magnetism - A fundamental force of nature, which causes certain types of materials to attract or repel each other. Permanent magnets, like the ones on your refrigerator and the earth’s magnetic field, are examples of objects having constant magnetic fields.
- Electromagnetism: A term for the interdependence of time-varying electric and magnetic fields. For example, it turns out that an oscillating magnetic field produces an electric field and an oscillating electric field produces a magnetic field.
- Magnetic Induction: A loop or coil of conductive material like copper, carrying an alternating current (AC), is a very efficient structure for generating or capturing a magnetic field.
Achieving this technology
If WiTricity Corp. could bring this new technology to fruition, power cords would become a distance memory. Start saving your money now to be part of the generation to bring about wireless energy. This new technology could completely revolutionize the world.
