Incorporating Wireless Power Transfer in an LED Lighting Application Incorporating Wireless Power Transfer in an LED Lighting Application

by Shipley, Jonathan S

There are various situations in which electrical energy is desired but cannot by conveniently supplied. Since the days of Hienrich Hertz and Nikola Tesla, scientists have tried to solve this problem using different methods of wireless power transfer. Today, wireless power transfer has only been commercially demonstrated at small distances through use of induction. This thesis demonstrated the transfer of wireless power at relatively large distances through radio frequencies in the development of a prototype for a commercial product ? a wireless household lamp.
