According to a recent report by the well-known American electronic technology journal "EETimes" (Electronic Engineering Album), to celebrate its 125th birthday, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) held an expert symposium to discuss emerging technologies they believe have the potential to reshape the world, including multimodal biometrics, intelligent computing, and wireless power.
Wireless Power Says Goodbye to Electric Wires for the Future
Katie Hall, a senior member of the IEEE and Chief Technology Officer of the tech powerhouse Wireless Power Group, believes that the company's goal is to make wireless power technology "as ubiquitous as batteries and power cords".
WiTricity "is a technology patent from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which utilizes magnetic coupling resonance between matching antennas to wirelessly transmit power to ordinary consumer electronic devices within a few meters of their power source. In 2007, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology successfully lit a 60 watt light bulb through wireless power transmission using two copper wire coils 2 meters apart. This technology is expected to bid farewell to wires in the future. WiTricity has also developed specialized wireless power supply solutions for electric vehicles and lighting equipment, and related products can be released as soon as next year.
Hall said, "This technology can greatly benefit the consumer, industrial, medical, military, and transportation markets from the benefits of wireless power, and it can also play an important role in saving lives, saving energy, and protecting the environment
