    Wireless power is emerging as a popular concept since the profusion of personal and portable electronic devices has created a need for a convenient means to power these gadgets, eliminating the inconvenience and mess of several chargers and wires. Industries too echo this sentiment, as wires represent a burden in terms of cost and maintenance. Scientists are considering several technologies for such applications. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Wireless Power Supplies and Contactless Energy Transfer, finds that induction based wireless power could represent the next wave in powering portable electronics. It could also enable new applications in other sectors such as healthcare for powering implants to increase patient convenience and quality of life.

  • Companies like Sunnyvale, Calif-based PowerBeam use lasers to generate about 1.5 watts of power to an area around 10 metres. That’s not enough to power a laptop, but it is enough to power digital picture frame, speaker, or maybe even a mobile device. So in case you were worrying about battery life effecting your opportunity to reach your target audience, rejoice that one day mobile users won’t have to think twice about charging up their mobile phone. PowerBeam competitors Witricity and Powercast aren’t transmitting electricity as far as PowerBeam is trying to do. Other companies in the wireless electricity space include Powermat, eCoupled, WiPower and WildCharge. Expect one electrifiying experience at CES this year, as many of these companies are scheduled to show off their wireless electricity 1.0 accomplishments.

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) could involve billions of sensors which are needed on utility assets, buildings, pollution monitors, traffic control systems, in agriculture and much more, but adoption has been hindered by conventional primary batteries, which will eventually need replacing and therefore cannot be fitted and forgotten for a long period.

  • with a flood of electronic products with wireless charging capability arriving on the market in the coming years, causing global shipments of such solutions to soar to 234.9 million units in 2014, up by a factor of 65 from 3.6 million in 2010, according to iSuppli Corp.
  • While a number of serious challenges continue to present barriers to immediate wide adoption, wireless chargers will start shipping in meaningful volume this year and then quickly ramp up as the devices achieve greater market acceptance

  • This means, right from the start, we need to consider imposing strict efficiency standards on these technologies to make sure efficiency isn’t abandoned for the sake of convenience. I hope Energy Star is on this case. That said, it’s quite possible that wireless charging will elminate a considerable amount of electronics waste, because we won’t have a lot of wired chargers being sent to the dump. That’s assuming, of course, that manufacturers stop selling wired chargers with the device and require it as a separate purchase.

Wireless Data Acquisition Benefits Broad Spectrum Of Applications - 0 views

  • Lord Kelvin, the 19th century mathematical physicist and engineer, is famously quoted as saying: "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." He has been proved right, of course, but even he could not have predicted the advances in metrology, the science of measurement, with wireless data acquisition (DAQ) being one of the most rapidly evolving technologies today. Where a wired approach can present logistical and cost-related problems, such as when accessing remote locations or crossing roads, wireless DAQ offers an alternative. With a protocol such as Zigbee, for example, each measurement node can communicate wirelessly to other nodes and, via an Ethernet gateway, to a PC.

  • The vision of Qi is that it will be in - or an option on - an increasing number of phones over the coming years. The consortium is also working with auto manufacturers. They're trying to get it built into cars, so that you could simply drop your phone on your center console and have it automatically charge as you drive, without worrying about any special dock or cable. Just set it down and it charges as you commute. That's a compelling scenario. We hope it comes true; we can't wait.

  • Peter Beerepoot, who was responsible for instrumentation process control of the entire project for Shell Eastern Petroleum, says: "We were given the opportunity to develop a complete infrastructure. Our initial thoughts during the front end engineering and design (FEED) phase, was that wireless would give us a number of key benefits. So we considered substitution of local panels, which we believed would bring us advantages in terms of cost reduction and increased efficiency."

The Bloom Box: An Energy Breakthrough? - 0 views

  • (CBS)  In the world of energy, the Holy Grail is a power source that's inexpensive and clean, with no emissions. Well over 100 start-ups in Silicon Valley are working on it, and one of them, Bloom Energy, is about to make public its invention: a little power plant-in-a-box they want to put literally in your backyard. You'll generate your own electricity with the box and it'll be wireless. The idea is to one day replace the big power plants and transmission line grid, the way the laptop moved in on the desktop and cell phones supplanted landlines. It has a lot of smart people believing and buzzing, even though the company has been unusually secretive - until now.
