Powered by Powercast - Episode 2 - Smart Cricket Ball

In this second episode, we use RF wireless power to charge a Sportcor's Smart Ball Core, which gets embedded into sporting equipment to send analytics from within. Sportcor's smart electronics core is being used by Australian cricket ball manufacturer Kookaburra in its Smart Cricket Ball. The Smart Ball can transmit movement data ( speed, distance, force and spin) during the game. To enable the Smart Ball to be perfectly round and perform like a "normal" cricket ball the electronics had to be deeply embedded in its center without any external charging ports or charging coils. This made over-the-air charging the only solution to recharge the battery.
