Witric Power - Witricity Explained

The action of an electrical transformer is the simplest instance of wireless energy transfer. The primary and secondary circuits of a transformer are electrically isolated from each other. The transfer of energy takes place by electromagnetic coupling through a process known as mutual induction. (An added benefit is the capability to step the primary voltage either up or down.) The electric toothbrush charger is an example of how this principle can be used. The main drawback to induction, however, is the short range.
