A Wireless Power Transfer Garment
A Wireless Power Transfer Garment
" Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Designed an embedded fabric system powered by a phone's wireless charging capabilities.
Created a specific design of experiments to evaluate over four inductive coil fabrication processes, utilizing standard measurables to determine feasibility.
Experimented with novel electromechanical material structures, aimed at optimizing the electrical performance and drapeability of the system.
Established a manufacturing process capable of a scalable throughput.
Utilized ASTM and AATCC testing standards to evaluate and validate material property requirements.
