Simple Wireless Power Transmission Circuit

Wireless power is not a new idea long time ago even Nikola Tesla try this!

Now many things like phone, toothbrush and some medical stuff charge without wire.

But still we can make it better.

In this post we will show how to make a easy Simple Wireless Power Transmission Circuit with transmitter and receiver using simple parts.

This helps us to understand how wireless charging work.

What is a Wireless Power Transmission Circuit:

Wireless power circuit is small electric setup.

it send power without wire.

It uses something like magnetic field to move power at short or long distance.

One common way is called inductive coupling which many wireless power use this way.

Transmitter Circuit Working:

Parts List:

TypeComponentQuantity
Resistors1k 1/4 W1
10k 1/4 W1
27k 1/4 W1
CapacitorsCeramic 0.1µF1
Electrolytic 47µF 25V1
SemiconductorsIC LM3861
Coil As given in Diagram1

LM386 gives 1kHz square pulse signal at output.

This signal goes to copper coil and start magnetic field moving at 1kHz.

When coil magnetic field starts turning it makes strong changing magnetic field around it.

Receiver Circuit Working:

Parts List:

TypeComponentQuantity
CapacitorsElectrolytic 100µF 25V2
SemiconductorsDiode 1N40074
IC 78051
Coil As given in diagram1

Receiver coil get EMF (electric force) when magnetic flux increases but how big it is depends on coil turns and distance between coils.

Bridge rectifier change AC to DC and it fixes the voltage from receiver coil.

Then 7805 voltage regulator gives steady DC voltage which is not too high or low.

We can change output frequency by adjusting timing resistor R1 and timing capacitor C1.

Also by changing coils on both the sides the circuit can match power needs better.

Formulas:

We used these formulas to find the frequency of RC oscillator:

f = 1 / (2 × π × R1 × C1)

where:

How the formula works:

R1 and C1 connect to make feedback loop and this loop makes voltage go up and down again and again and this creates oscillation.

Frequency depends on R1 and C1.

Bigger values = slower frequency and Smaller = faster.

Induced EMF Formula:

Induced EMF ∝ Number of Windings × (1 / Distance between Coils)

(∝ means “proportional to”)

What it means:

EMF (ε) is voltage made when magnetic field changes.

Happens in coil when magnetic field go up down from nearby coil.

More coil turns = more EMF.

Less distance between coils = stronger EMF.

Parts explained:

Induced EMF (ε): Voltage made in wire by changing magnetic field.

Number of Windings (N): How many turns of wire is in coil.

Distance between Coils (d): Space between main and second coil.

Smaller gap = better power transfer.

How this works:

In transformer or wireless coil current in first coil makes magnetic field.

If field keeps changing it cuts second coil and makes EMF which is voltage.

This is how wireless power works using magnetic field
