Applications of WPT

Electronic portable devices :-

           Cell phones, laptops, tablets, even smartwatches are found all over the globe and are owned and used by billions of people. What these devices all have in common is the need to recharge their internal battery so that the device can be used while mobile. Such is the paradox of portable devices: they provide convenience by running off internal power so they can be used anywhere, but always must return to be tethered to a power cord in order to charge.

          WPT has the potential to disrupt and revolutionize the traditional portable device, not only by making mobile devices more convenient by eliminating the need for a physical power supply but also safer (power cords carry the risk of shock and can cause fires), as well as a reduced cost for consumers. Research has even been done into multi-hop WPT systems, wherein a generator transmits power wirelessly to targets, which can then, in turn, become sources for other targets, and transfer power wirelessly to those targets. Thus, a network of WPT can be created to support several devices.
