Nikola Tesla, the father of alternating current envisioned a world without wires. It was rumored that he devised and successfully tested a contraption that transmitted electrical power through space to light a bulb from a considerable distance! We will investigate commercial wireless chargers used to charge cell phones and iPods to determine the amount of power needed to operate as advertised. With information gathered through the investigation, we will attempt to build a wireless power transmitter, use it to light an LED from a distance, and then explain the physical properties at work and consider the limits of such technology.
