“No more searching for that elusive, functioning outlet in the airport to charge your dying cell phone as you wait to board, or worrying about your laptop dying during an important presentation.

That’s what one Virginia-based company envisions. The concept is to get your electric power wirelessly just as you get access to the internet wirelessly.

Wireless power is the focus of WiGL, or Wireless-electric Grid Local Air Networks. The idea is to bring WiGL (pronounced wiggle) networks to local communities so there is no more frantic searching for outlets, blocks, or cords.”

“Wearable medical devices play a vital role in healthcare for the military and civilians. Small, portable, and easy to wear, these devices assist first responders, war-fighters and patients with services ranging from physiological diseases like muscle disorders to neurocognitive disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s. In recent years, technological advances have succeeded in making these medical devices even more compact, efficient, and accurate. However, there is still the problem that many of these devices require frequent recharging, necessitating the need for downtime. Their charging efficiency can also deplete over time, leading to sudden power failures and the need for replacing.”

After a year filled with climate disasters, the recent COP26 conference closed with a renewed commitment to limiting the global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius, in line with promises defined in the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Urgent action to protect our planet and reduce its carbon footprint has never been higher on the agendas of today’s government leaders, and with that comes a need to reassess which new technologies can help to meet these goals.

Electrical power as we know it has been around since 1882. That’s when Thomas Edison first built a direct current generator, radial line transmission and twisted copper wires to get power to the end users. Since then, electrical power to major metropolitan and industrial areas has been conducted through the same copper wire-based power grid system, so it may come as a surprise that something in use for almost 140 years is fundamentally flawed.
