Wireless Charging - By Jaydon Headrick


Batteries are one of the worst areas of improving in science. Almost never do they make better batteries. I think batteries can be improved in many ways, and here are them. Also I will be talking about wireless charging.

They Should Make Them Smaller! The car batteries are HUGE, and If they make them smaller with more energy, that will Help! Here is the good news for tablets and smartphones, “A new research paper details the efforts of a team at Stanford University who are looking to create a lithium battery that, if successful, could lead to much longer battery life for smartphones and tablets, but it could take several years for that research to yield practical products.” I think this is some big news, cause if this works, then they might use lithium battery’s for everything!
Now Ill talk about wireless charging, I don’t mean the mobile charging, I mean in the energy in the air and charging.

            Meredith Perry has created this wireless charging working with uBeam.
She made a prototype of this wireless charging. So what happens is that the main “panel” converts electricity into sound and gives out sound energy. Then The Panel on the back on your phone it captures the energy and converts it backs into electricity.  She Said it worked, and this might change the future.
“We’re going to sell directly to consumers, and we’ll sell them to restaurant chains and hotels — we are going to saturate the market with uBeam transmitters,” Ms. Perry said. “In addition to your local coffee shop saying it has free Wi-Fi, it will also say it has free uBeam.” – Comment from Ms. Perry.
            Another example of this is Proxi, and the best one yet. What happens is you put a ring in the back of any electronic device or anything the uses electricity. Here are the steps what happen.

  1. “Mains voltage is converted into high frequency alternating current (AC).
  2. The alternating current (AC) is sent to the transmitter coil by the transmitter circuit.  The alternating current then induces a time varying magnetic field in the transmitter coil.
  3. Alternating current flowing within the transmitter coil induces a magnetic field which extends to the receiver coil (when within a specified distance).
  4. The magnetic field generates current within the receiver coil of the device.  The process whereby energy is transmitted between the transmitter and receiver coil is also referred to as magnetic or resonant coupling and is achieved by both coils resonating at the same frequency.
  5. Current flowing within the receiver coil is converted into direct current (DC) by the receiver circuit, which can then be used to charge the battery.”
So this will be greater than uBeam, because it is more supported. I can’t wait until everyone has this so when you go somewhere your phone and everything else will still be charging. This will be the new future.
