Wireless Electric Transmitting

01/08/2011 2:19 AM

i want to transmit the electric energy by the one transmitting antenna and at the receiving end use the other antenna which recieve the R.F. signal .At the recieving end i m using demodulator then the signal is amplified.

so pls. suggest me the circuit by which it will possible, there is no need of high efficieny.

It might be nice if they actually explained this, rather rather than merely producing cute graphics.

Of course, if the receiving antenna completely surrounds the transmitter, it might be able to capture 100% of the radiated energy. But otherwise...inverse square law, anyone?

If it's laser or microwave, they need to change their picture.

I want to fill my glass with water so I've set the lawn sprinkler on maximum and I'm going to put my glass somewhere on the lawn until it's full.
Is this a good idea?
Is this an analogy?

The Wardenclyffe and Colorado Springs power generation stations were much larger models of the open air mutual inductance coil. The power was produced at the discharge sphere, toroid, etc. depending on the construction. The Arc Attack team used a SSGTC.

Tesla was using the ground as a counterpoise to take advantage of what would later be termed as the Schumann resonance. Tesla had already discovered the physics behind generating electricity over long distances using ducting of energy in the Schumann cavity between the ionosphere and the earth. The energy is from the top of the coil, which is why it reaches for ground.

Come on guys...

i read in some other thread today that CR4 members are becoming "curmudgeons" and unwilling to change.

Let's not be like that. Please give an open mind to this new technology. It may not amount to anything, but...let's see where it goes.....

1. This is from MIT, no less.

2. There is 44 page patent granted to Dr Soljacic..7825543.pdf

3. Fujitsu have something going on to charge cellphones. Fujitsu

4. The power transfer will only happen when the emitter and receiver are in resonance. Power is not being scattered over the landscape indiscriminately....

Power transmission over short ditances for recharging purposes e.g Electric vehicle/mobile phone etc is feasible but arguable pretty pointless...hmm there's prob a joke there.
In fact I'm sure there would be a way of refueling a convention car without having to open the fuel cap, get out and stuff a hose in, but is it necessary?
For electric vehicles, maybe unattended contactless charging whilst parked does have some value.
I don't really consider these application to be power transmission, which to me implies a greater range.
Blimey I've even bored myself now.
I only get curmudgeonly because these same old chestnuts keep resurfacing and the poster obviously hasn't bothered to search this site for similar threads, but that's ok, I'm supposed to do the searching instead...

Re: wireless electric transmitting

01/08/2011 2:04 PM

These are simply "loosely coupled resonant circuits", which is basically what a Tesla coil is. This >100 year old idea is being revisited because modern electronics are being designed with very high efficiency and very low power needs which may be served by a low power wireless transmission method. Some wireless power transfer over a short (< 1m) distance is possible and new gadgets like "charging pads" may actually fill a good consumer niche. There is nothing really special here. While MIT is a top university, media over-hyping simple research and lab experiments does a disservice to both MIT and to the general public. (That's what makes me grumpy )

What about distances on the order of 10m? With many people already freaking out about the EXISTING soup of EM waves we live with every day, does anyone realistically think that increasing this EM soup several orders of magnitude (just to avoid pugging in) is a good idea?

Re: wireless electric transmitting

07/19/2017 7:05 AM

Most of the advancement in industries and applications that are relying on the contacting connectors, physical are more prone to failure and wireless power is the most reliable problem solver over here.

In the 1890s, Nikola Tesla experimented the Wireless Power Transfer although it came into action only in the last decade and today if you see; most of the devices uses the wireless technology like mobile, Internet, Bluetooth, cordless phone etc. It is also common in inductive coupling, resonant power transfer, Inductive Power transfer etc. Each of these devices follows the transmission of power from a power source without any connectors to the electric load in short wireless.

Working of Wireless power

Through an oscillating magnetic field the transmission of load power from transmitter to receiver is the basis of Wireless technology. By specifically designed electronics into the transmitter you can achieve this by converting a DC supply to the power source into high frequency alternating current.

For generating a magnetic field alternating current induces a copper wire coil in the transmitter. In the receiver coil the field can induce an alternating current within the proximity of the magnetic field where the coil is placed.

The usable power or the DC current is produced by converting the alternating current by the electronics within the system.

1.The AC signal passing though the electronic transmitter circuit is converted into an AC signal by the mains voltage.

2.A magnetic field induced within a transmitter coil is extended into the receiver coil by the AC current.

3) The current flowing through the coil of the receiving device is generated by a magnetic field. Magnetic or Resonant coupling comes from the name where energy is transmitted between receiver coil and transmitter. The power for the device or the DC current is produced by converting the current flowing into the receiver coil.

Define Resonance

Resignation happens at the same frequency between the distance at which energy can be transferred between transmitter and receiver coils.

An object vibrates naturally at a frequency similar to tuning fork at a particular frequency for achieving maximum amplitude is called resonant frequency.

Advantages of Wireless Power

•Cost reduction with respect to maintaining direct connections (like those in the traditional slide ring).

•Greater comfort for the usage of every day electronics.

•Safe power transmission without any loss of data.

•For reducing the risk of corrosion such as oxygen and water, electronics can be insulated.

•High mobile industrial equipment and continuous power supply.

•Irrespective of wet or dirty environment surrounding power supply is successful.

Thus it can be said that wireless transfer plays a major role today when compared to physically wired connection which are slowly getting outdated. The future of wireless transmissions can also lead to developing smart home like today’s smart phone.

Today, at 66, i know how much i don't know .... i am curious, willing to learn from anyone, young or old....i was a curmudgeon at 10, and slowly un-became one

Hey c'mon, Chris.

There are 372 recognized degrees of curmudgeonous (Source; the ultra secret Great Curmudgeon Society). One cannot be or not be a curmudgeon. All males are to some degree. It takes many years to achieve the nirvana of perfect curmudgeonous, and many do not make it at all.

I am widely recognized as a high level curmudgeon but the great unwashed don't really have a clue, and the requirements for level attainment are more stringently guarded than those of the Masons.

Besides, all this unfiltered rf energy floating around nowadays is making it much more difficult to reach the apex.

Hooker

PS - please don't be distracted by the ISOC - International Society of Curmudgeons - that can be found on the web. They are not the true curmudgeons of the universe, merely wannabe usurpers, crassly selling a silly certificate of curmudgeonous. If only it was that simple.

Re: wirless electric transmitting

the site you cite is quite a sight. Unfortunately it disagrees with your perception, as it clearly states that Curmudgeonry is a Character Trait. (6th last para) which of course, conforms to my binary statement.

Perhaps there are 372 recognized degrees, and yet, is it not also true that one is a curmudgeon at the first degree, and therefore, again, one is either a curmudgeon, or not. (varying in degrees, but not in status {binary})

I'm actually still undecided as to whether I shall take up Curmudgeonry, now that I'm 50, but I have to admit I've been practicing some of the rituals and mannerisms.

I may actually be a Fence-Sitter... I'm still undergoing analysis...

cheers, whatever dude, (just practicing)

Chris

You seem to be confusing "power" and "signal" transmission.

If you were transmitting power - why would you need to amplify it?

Or is this, as has been suggested, just about wireless signal transmission?

Please clarify.

Re: Wireless Electric Transmitting

Perhaps we can call this a loosely coupled air-core transformer. (The farther apart the primary and secondary coils, the looser the coupling.)

The first link (post 2) shows what looks like rather uniform spherical radiation. The second link (post 5) is better. Just like two nearby magnets with a relatively more concentrated flux between, the two coils (send/receive) can have higher flux between them. The closer they are to each other, the stronger the directionality.

Re: Wireless Electric Transmitting

Right ... let's step back and see where we are.

1. The OP wanted RF transmission. Not magnetic resonance. Maybe it is Tesla/Marconi/Bell/ even Don Ameche suddenly reincarnated (we Indians believe in it strongly you know) and seeing ... hold your horses .... NO LAND LINES !!! Only cell phones. So, naturally the question.

2. i mentioned WiTricity in good faith. Trying to help the OP. i knew that this was done by Soljacic and team in 2007. Many blogs on CR4 on this. No big commercial success yet i guess? So, maybe the curmudgeons are right after all...still, people, i wish they would succeed with one of those breakthroughs...i would love to see my cellphone charging by itself. After all, we have many 'mobile charging centres' at airports with lots of adaptors hanging. Also 'laptop centres' with many sockets..... would be nice to get rid of all of them.

Right ... let's step back even further and see where we are.

1. The OP wanted to "transmit the electric energy" [sic].

2. The OP also wanted to demodulate and amplify the signal (to paraphrase).

I have asked the question, and it has not been answered - is this about transmitting (useful) power, or just a naïve request for information about radio (AKA wireless transmission)?

This is yet another example of the evanescence of Guest.

There really doesn't seem to be much "engineering" talk on any one of the forums that CR4 hosts. There is some, but not much.

Re: Wireless Electric Transmitting

We still don't know HOW MUCH energy the OP was needing. There are "wireless" electric transmission systems available, just not a lot of energy. Balluff for example has a wireless energy transfer system that can power up sensors on moving components across small air gaps, 10mm max. at 300ma. Not much, but it is "wireless electric transmitting". But if we are talking about large amounts of energy, the problems become logarithmic with distance and power.

Maybe the problems are not insurmountable, but so far nobody has been able to get there.
