Some of the best innovations often come out of the work and research done at universities. Such is the case with a recent demonstration at a university that aims to convert radio frequencies into usable electricity. Let’s take a look.
The University of Kashmir recently demonstrated new wireless energy harvesting technology, which offers an innovative way to power devices and charge batteries without the need for physical connections—and it aims to solve an age-old problem. In the past, methods using lasers, microwaves, or infrared light have often come with limitations, such as requiring a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver or limited to point-to-point energy transmission.
Here’s how the new technology works. The INFRGY system avoids these hurdles by using benign RF technology to offer a more versatile, efficient, and safe method of wireless power delivery. The RF technology is not adversely affected by obstacles, does not require physical contact, and can power multiple devices simultaneously.
Here is how this can help:
- Scalable, efficient, and offers a way to power devices without the need for precise alignment or physical contact.
- Charge devices without ever having to plug them in or position them on a charging pad.
- Power the IoT (Internet of Things) devices, smart homes, and industrial equipment.
While the concept for this wireless power transfer system began at the Centre for Innovation, Incubation, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Kashmir, Zakura Campus, the opportunities are far reaching. In the future, we will continue to see wireless technology advance.
