Notable Experiments

edit

On December 7th, 2012, Jim Chute and Derek Newman (another scientist at CT&T) successfully transmitted power wirelessly over a distance of five inches using resonant inductive coupling. This experiment was later improved and a transmission distance of 13 inches was achieved shortly after.
