Development of Short-Range Wireless Energy Transfer Module (Y-Less) for TVET Education

Abstract

One of the new developing technologies that will bring significant change to human existence is wireless power transmission using inductive coupling. The Wireless Energy Transfer Module (Y-Less) is developed as teaching and learning trainer to provision in understanding the basic concepts of wireless communication and able to support the syllabus available in educational institutions. This Y-Less design based on inductive-coupling technology, which employed two coils induce a current in the receiving circuit from transmitter coils that could be converted to usage energy reveals to the students the basic idea of what is meant by wireless communication. It demonstrates energy transfer of power supply from one point to another without any connecting cable that uses the concept of wireless. Output with 12VDC and 5VDC is shown in charging the phone or turning on the lamp/fan at a distance between the receiver and the transmitter up to 10 cm. The usage of inverter and USB is included in the resulting output application to enhance the technical knowledge.
