Yes, it appears to be a transformer. But my question is, what if the distance between the primary and secondary is 10 meters apart? And as for the dead links, It works fine on my comp, but if anyone comes back could anyone please search that on google and it should pop on and redirect you.
But back on topic, I want to build a device where you can hold a lightbulb in your hand and walk around the room and still have the lightbulb light up in your hands. The first option is in wikipedia "wireless energy" link where Nikola tesla built this device with two metal sheets and allowed a lightbulb to light up between them. The second is done by the MIT guy which has a secondary on the lightbulb itself. Either ways, I'm curious as to how it works so if any one can explain to me how to build one, I'll greatly appreciate it.
Again, it seems common these days for transformers to exist but it seems that the primary and secondary have to be reasonably close in order for it to work. Im just curious as to if anyone knows how to make the energy transfer possible over a greater distance, such like 5 meters?
Oh my bad, the links are dead lol. Well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer
that's the site, the dead link is the site for the zoomed in picture lol, sorry guys
And the second dead links is also a picture from the working site.
