Introduction
A clean-cut vision of a future freed from the rat's nest of cables needed to power today's electronic gadgets has come one step closer to reality. Wireless power transmission or Witricity as it is called, is the process that takes place in any system where electrical energy is transmitted from a power source to an electrical load, without interconnecting wires.
History
1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair
Nikola Tesla Teslas experiments caused every animal within miles of his tower to flee and never return as long his tower was operating. Finally he was supposed to give up as he ran out of money.
In 2005, Dave Gerding first coined the term WI-TRICITY. On 7 th June, 2007 WiTricity
A team (led by Prof. Marin Soljacic) from MIT were able to light a 60W light bulb from a power source seven feet away plasma-free. The researchers plan to miniaturize the setup enough for Commercial use in 3 to 5 years does not need a direct line of sight for it to work.
Methods
Radiation methods
Various methods of transmitting power wirelessly have been known for centuries. Perhaps the best known example is electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves. While such radiation is excellent for wireless transmission of information, it is not feasible to use it for power transmission. Since radiation spreads in all directions, a vast majority of power would end up being wasted into free space. One can envision using directed electromagnetic radiation, such as lasers, but this is not very practical and can even be dangerous. It requires an uninterrupted line of sight between the source and the device, as well as a sophisticated tracking mechanism when the device is mobile.
Principle
4)
Electricity picked up by laptop's antenna, which must also be resonating at 10MHz. Energy used to re-charge device.
Energy not transferred to laptop re-absorbed by source antenna.

Conclusion
The work is truly pioneering". Wi-Tricity system touted as safe, efficient, is potentially useful for powering laptops, cell phones and light up lamps without cords. This is just so amazing and exciting, so practical, so useful and opening many doors to many other possibilities. So its time to bid farewell to wires.
Goodbye wires The future is wireless!
