What is WiTricity ? -WiTricity‚ stands for wireless electricity‚ is a term coined initially by Dave Gerding in 2005 and used by a MIT research team led by prof. Marin Soljačić in 2007‚ to describe the ability to provide electricity to remote objects without wires (wireless power transfer). This could be useful to power consumer and industrial electronics like cell phones‚ laptops‚ etc. -WiTricity‚ a portmanteau for "wireless electricity"‚ is a trademark of WiTricity corporation referring to their

In summer seasons electric fans‚ air conditioning plants are used to provide us with cool atmosphere. In winter‚ heating plants are used to keep the room warm. Electric bells‚ press and stove are things of every-day use. People keep refrigerators in their homes to keep their food in a fresh condition.

Lecture Notes: Basic Electricity Fall 2011 This course module introduces the basic physical models by which we explain the flow of electricity. The Bohr model of an atom – a nucleus surrounded by shells of electrons traveling in discrete orbits – is presented. Electrical current is described as a flow of electrons. Ohm’s law – the relationship between voltage‚ current and electrical resistance – is introduced. Learning Objectives Understanding the basic principles of electricity is a foundational

Introduction Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the signal over part or the entire communication path. The first wireless transmitters went on the air in the early 20th century using radiotelegraphy (Morse code). Later‚ as modulation made it possible to transmit voices and music via wireless‚ the medium came to be called "radio." With the advent of television‚ fax‚ data communication‚ and the effective use of

Moral and Ethical Issues in Gene Therapy Introduction Genetic research has advanced in a dramatic fashion in the last decade or so‚ to the point where it has now become possible to attempt therapeutic genetic modification‚ in a few cases of human genes‚ where a defects exists which manifests itself in certain serious diseases. This possibility‚ known as gene therapy‚ is only in its infancy. At present‚ no one knows how effective it will prove to be‚ even in the few conditions on which it is being
