The Electromagnetic Compatibility Society (EMCS) of the IEEE annually searches for a University or College to assist in adding EMC to their curriculum. We are looking for a University or College that does not now include EMC in their offering, but that has an interest in doing so. The objective of this program is to expose the maximum number of students to the study of the … [Read more...]
System Uses EM Waves to Deliver Wireless Power through the Air
At the recent TED Global Conference in Oxford, UK, a US-based technology firm, WiTricity, demonstrated a system that delivers electricity through the air to power laptops, cell phones, and other electrical devices. This new system is based on the work of Professor Marin Soljacic, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The concept of sending power wirelessly … [Read more...]

Understanding Inductance in the Real-World
As soon as current flows through metal conductors, inductance exists. Bruce Archambeault, Ph.D. IBM Distinguished Engineer, IBM, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA The concept of inductance is one of the most misunderstood concepts in electrical engineering. Terms such as ‘self inductance’, ‘loop inductance’, ‘partial inductance’, ‘mutual inductance’ are used with little … [Read more...]
