Hi, I’m Pragyan Dahal
I am interested in Wireless Power Technology (WPT) and am working on learning more about the field, and simultaneously trying to contribute, with the best that I can.
Check out my projects, research and thoughts!
What is WPT?
Wireless Power Technology explores how energy can move without physical conductors.
Microwave wireless power transfer converts electricity into radio-frequency energy, directs it through antennas or phased arrays, captures it through receivers, and converts it back into usable electricity. Its potential applications include remote power, drones, satellites, lunar infrastructure, and space-based solar power.
