Abstract
A prototype of a wireless charging system was designed to tackle the problem of desks
being messy as a result of electric cables that are used in charging mobile equipment and the
inability to use the mobile devices when they are being charged. The design employs a method
which is referred to as strongly coupled magnetic resonance which employs four coils to operate:
two self-resonant and two inductors. The system was successfully designed in which power was
successfully transmitted between the transmitter and receiver, and a range of about 6cm was
achieved. Line of sight was not necessary for the transmission. The output was, however, a low
voltage that could power an LED. Further work is required to be carried out to reduce the size of
the system and incorporates it in charging mobile equipment.
