The house no longer has electrical wires or sockets.
Wireless power, operating on the principle of magnetic resonance, offers convenience and safety that will transform human life in the future.

Have you ever imagined living in a house without tangled wires and sockets? Light bulbs, refrigerators, televisions, and many other appliances would no longer have power cords.
Dr. Katie Hall has spent years researching and developing projects to transmit electrical energy without wires, and she believes this will be an essential technology of the future, like Wi-Fi and the Internet.
The principle of wireless electricity
Dr. Hall, Chief Technology Officer of WiTricity, said: “We are developing wireless power transmission technology. However, unlike Wi-Fi, we are not letting the power float in the air. What we are doing is establishing a magnetic field in space.”
Dr. Hall further explained: “WiTricity builds a ‘resonant source’ – essentially a coil of wire that creates a magnetic field when current flows through it. When another coil is nearby, the combined magnetic field between the two coils creates an electric charge. When you place an electrical device in this magnetic field, it creates a current in the device. So we have electricity throughout the house without needing any electrical outlets for your lights, TV, or refrigerator.”
The home of the future with wireless power.
Dr. Hall asserted, "No one will get electrocuted. The magnetic field used to transmit power here is completely harmless, just like Wi-Fi."
In the home of the future, wireless power will be as commonplace as wireless internet. If everything goes according to Witricity's plan, your smartphone will automatically charge when it's in your pocket. You also won't need to charge your electric car anymore.
WiTricity demonstrated the marvel of this project by placing laptops, smartphones, and televisions in a magnetic resonance environment, and they all functioned perfectly with wireless power.
Dr. Hall enthusiastically stated, "Imagine driving home without having to stop at a gas station, without having to get up to plug your phone charger into an outlet – our WiTricity project will change our lives."
Wireless power – A revolution in many ways.
In addition to bringing ultimate convenience to life, Dr. Hall also sees other amazing effects of wireless power.
Beyond just home applications, wireless power will revolutionize the healthcare industry. WiTricity is currently collaborating with a medical equipment manufacturer on a project aimed at changing the operation of life support devices such as pacemakers and dialysis machines.
Wireless power technology has ushered in a new era for mobile electronic devices with limited battery capacity.
The only remaining challenge for the WiTricity project is expanding the coverage area of the magnetic field generator. This range depends on the size of the two coils that create the magnetic field, and WiTricity wants to complete this project as soon as possible.
