There’s More Than One Way to Deliver Wireless Power
What you'll learn:
- What is magnetic resonance?
- How can magnetic resonance deliver power wirelessly?
- What does Powercast’s implementation look like?
Alan Neves, Director of Sales at Powercast, highlights the company’s magnetic-resonance technology in the video above. The technology can eliminate the need for batteries and charging cables, and it will operate at a distance and work through materials like plastic and wood.
Developers can take advantage of Powercast’s AirBrite Development Kits as shown in the video (see figure). Powercast’s technology is able to deliver up to 100 W of total power. It can be used for applications like wireless mice and keyboards that never need charging. The kit includes an active mat, two passive receiver mats, and a dozen light receivers.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
