Scientists tweak wireless power transfer, Tesla nods happily in his grave

Scientists tweak wireless power transfer, Tesla nods happily in his grave

Wireless charging may be all the rage these days, but actually beaming electricity - as sketched above by the man Tesla himself - still has some snags. North Carolina State U researchers have found a way to possibly vanquish the biggest problem: the difficulty of exactly matching resonant frequencies to amplify current. If external factors like temperature change the tuning of a transmitter even slightly then power drops will occur, but circuitry developed by the NC State scientists would allow receivers to detect these changes and automatically re-tune themselves to match.
