TE Student Talks Wearable Wireless Power Transmission at ACC Meeting of the Minds Conference
Textile Engineering senior Tyler Henson is developing a garment that has a receiver coil knitted directly into its structure so that it can receive power wirelessly from a stationary coil that is plugged into a power supply. This technology can be used for powering mobile devices wirelessly through the garment or even be incorporated into wearable medical textiles to power the vital sign monitoring devices in the future.
