Prodigy Demonstration Kit for Wireless Electricity

WiTricity Corp. offers its Prodigy™ demonstration kit. Prodigy aims to foster innovation by enabling engineers, product designers and science educators to demonstrate and explore the capabilities of wireless power over distance. Prodigy is WiTricity's low cost gateway to wireless power for engineers, product designers and science educators. The Prodigy kit is FCC certified, and provides the tools needed to demonstrate the advantages of highly resonant wireless power transfer: Wireless power over distance, even when devices are flipped, turned or twisted; Multiple devices powered by a single source; Use of a resonant repeater that lets the energy hop over a greater distance; and Power transfer through materials like a desk top, brick wall or glass window.

“The applications for wireless power are limitless,” said Eric Giler, CEO of WiTricity. “From electric car charging and implanted medical devices to gadgets like smartphones and tablet computers, wireless power presents enormous possibilities. Our goal for Prodigy is to provide an affordable gateway for engineers and product designers, and also for science educators and researchers. We will offer an educational discount so that science teachers and engineering professors can show their students this amazing technology. Wireless power over distance is truly groundbreaking, and our goal is to make it accessible to as many people as possible.”

Prodigy is a visually stimulating and hands-on demonstration that captures the imaginations of students from 8th grade physics classrooms to college electrical engineering laboratories. It includes: 1 Resonant Power Source; 2 Resonant Power Capture Devices with LEDs; 1 Resonant Repeater; 1 Portable Battery Pack; and 1 Quick Start Guide.

Science educators can create lesson and hands-on laboratory plans to build an exciting introduction to high tech electro-magnetics and the physics of resonance and wireless energy transfer. Prodigy is priced at $995, plus shipping and handling. The Prodigy Demo Kit at a discounted price of only $750 to students and accredited educational institutions.
