Wireless Power Transmission

Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) transfers electrical energy from a source to a load without physical conductors.

It powers devices ranging from smartphones to electric vehicles without cables.

Methods of Wireless Power Transfer

Inductive coupling uses magnetic fields between coils for short-range charging (phones, toothbrushes). Resonant inductive coupling extends range using matched resonant frequencies. Microwave and laser power transfer can send energy over long distances, even from space.

Efficiency drops with distance, so the method is chosen based on the required range and power level.
