WITRICITY

WiTricity Corporation was founded in 2007 to commercialize a new technology for wireless electricity invented and patented two years earlier by a team of physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), led by Professor Marin Soljačić. Professor Soljačić and team proved the magnetic fields of two properly designed devices with closely matched resonant frequencies can couple into a single continuous magnetic field, enabling the transfer of power from one device to the other at high efficiency and over a distance range that is useful for real-world applications... WiTricity is actively developing the core technology and additional intellectual property that will take this spectacular invention and apply it to electric vehicle wireless charging... What could be easier than just pulling into a driveway, garage, parking lot, or curbside, and having your EV charge automatically? No more forgetting, no more wrangling with a plug or struggling with a cord. WiTricity makes it..
