Operational Impact
WiTricity's technology allows for flexible and efficient wireless power transfer, enabling the charging of multiple devices simultaneously over distances and through various materials. | |
The use of magnetic resonance ensures low power losses and high efficiency, even when the source and capture device are not perfectly aligned. | |
The system is scalable for a wide range of devices, from smartphones to electric vehicles, making it versatile and adaptable to different applications. | |
Quantitative Benefit
WiTricity's technology can charge multiple devices at once, over distances and through materials like wood, plastic, granite, and glass. | |
The use of resonant repeaters allows power to 'hop' over greater distances, extending the wireless range. | |
The system's efficiency and low power losses are achieved through the use of magnetic resonance, with both coils tuned to the same resonant frequency. | |
