SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- INFRGY LLC introduces its wireless power transfer technology to power electronic devices and battery packs. The system, which harvests electromagnetic energy

from the environment, was recently demonstrated at the University of Kashmir's Institute of Technology.

In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla's experiments showed that power could be transmitted wirelessly using a radio transmitter and receiver. However, his vision of a wirelessly powered world was cut short due to technological limitations. INFRGY's innovation builds on Tesla's pioneering work, making it a reality with modern radio frequency (RF) technology.

INFGRGY co-founder Parvez Rishi believes the time is right to reintroduce this technology. He states, “Because the system harvests electromagnetic energy from the environment while wirelessly transmitting power, it is proving to be a highly efficient means of energy transfer. We have shown that we can use a small amount of energy to power multiple devices.”

Unlike traditional wireless charging pads, the system does not require precise placement. The INFRGY system overcomes the limitations of microwave and infrared technologies, which require direct line of sight and are limited to point-to-point transmission. Radio frequency (RF) technology is not as affected by obstacles, being capable of long-distance transmission. The INFRGY system is a practical method of powering devices without a continuous physical connection.

INFRGY’s wireless energy transfer system was conceived while testing its related electromagnetic energy harvesting concept at the University of Kashmir’s Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship Centre, Zakura Campus.
