ABSTRACT Detailed Abstract:
Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) represents a groundbreaking
innovation in the field of energy transfer, offering the ability to deliver electrical energy without the need for traditional wired connections. The development of WPT has the potential to revolutionize the way power is distributed, eliminating the constraints imposed by cables and enhancing the convenience and flexibility of powering devices across multiple industries. This project focuses on investigating the fundamental principles, technologies, and practical applications of wireless power transmission.
At the core of WPT are several key transmission methods, including
inductive coupling, resonant inductive coupling, and far-field methods such as microwave and laser-based transmission. Each method has its own strengths, limitations, and application areas. Inductive coupling, for instance, is widely used in short-range applications like charging smartphones and other small electronic devices, while resonant inductive coupling offers greater efficiency over medium-range distances, making it suitable for applications such as electric vehicle (EV) charging. Far-field methods like microwave transmission enable long-distance power transfer, which can be used for powering satellites or remote sensors in challenging environments.
The primary objective of this project is to analyze these WPT
technologies in terms of their efficiency, power transmission range, and the feasibility of practical deployment. Special attention is given to optimizing energy efficiency, minimizing power losses due to resistance and interference, and ensuring safety during operation. The project also addresses technical challenges, such as alignment issues between transmitting and receiving coils, energy losses during transmission, potential health hazards due to radiation exposure, and electromagnetic interference with other devices.
In addition to exploring the technical aspects, this project examines
real-world applications of WPT. These applications include contactless charging for electric vehicles, wireless power delivery to implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, wireless charging infrastructure for consumer electronics, and powering sensors in remote or hard-to- reach locations, such as underwater or space exploration missions. The potential for scaling WPT to larger systems, such as wirelessly powering entire buildings or cities, is also discussed, considering both the technological challenges and the environmental impact.
The project culminates in the design and testing of a prototype WPT
system, with a focus on improving energy transfer efficiency, range, and safety. Various materials and circuit designs are evaluated to enhance system performance, with experiments conducted to verify theoretical predictions. The ultimate goal of this research is to contribute to the advancement of WPT technology, paving the way for a future where wireless energy transfer is a reliable, sustainable, and integral part of modern power distribution systems.
This exploration of wireless power transmission promises to unlock
new possibilities for powering devices and systems in a more flexible, sustainable, and convenient manner, with the potential to significantly impact industries ranging from consumer electronics to aerospace and renewable energy. INTRODUCTION

Wireless systems reduce the risk of electrical hazards,
such as short circuits or accidental exposure to live wires. This is especially beneficial in environments where wired connections are impractical or dangerous, such as underwater, high-voltage areas, or medical settings. 4. Reduced Maintenance and Durability:
Since there are no physical connections that can wear
out over time, the durability of the system is improved. This is particularly useful in industrial applications where continuous operation is critical, and maintenance can be difficult or costly.
5. Powering Remote and Inaccessible Devices:
WPT can power devices located in hard-to-reach or
