How to make a homemade wireless charger?

Aug 22, 2025

Hey there! As a wireless charger supplier, I'm super stoked to share with you how to make a homemade wireless charger. It's a fun project that can save you some bucks and give you a deeper understanding of how these nifty devices work.

Understanding the Basics of Wireless Charging

Before we jump into making our own wireless charger, let's quickly go over how wireless charging actually works. Wireless charging is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an alternating current passes through a coil (the transmitter coil), it creates a magnetic field. When another coil (the receiver coil) is placed within this magnetic field, an electric current is induced in it, which can then be used to charge a device.

What You'll Need

To make a homemade wireless charger, you'll need the following materials:

  • Transmitter Coil: You can either buy a pre - made transmitter coil or make one yourself using enameled copper wire. The number of turns and the gauge of the wire will affect the charging efficiency.
  • Receiver Coil: Similar to the transmitter coil, you can buy a pre - made one or make it at home. This coil will be attached to the device you want to charge.
  • Power Source: You'll need a power source to supply the alternating current to the transmitter coil. A USB power adapter is a common choice.
  • Rectifier Circuit: This circuit is used to convert the alternating current from the power source into direct current. You can use a simple bridge rectifier for this purpose.
  • Capacitors and Resistors: These components are used to filter and regulate the current and voltage in the circuit.
  • Circuit Board: A small printed circuit board (PCB) or a breadboard can be used to mount all the components.
  • Soldering Iron and Solder: To connect the components together.
  • Enclosure: You'll need an enclosure to protect the components and give your wireless charger a nice look. You can use a 3D - printed case or a simple plastic box.

Step - by - Step Guide to Making a Homemade Wireless Charger

Step 1: Prepare the Transmitter Coil

If you're making the transmitter coil yourself, start by winding the enameled copper wire around a cylindrical object, like a pen or a small tube. Make sure to leave enough wire at both ends for connection. The number of turns depends on the specifications you want, but usually, around 20 - 30 turns will work fine.

Step 2: Build the Rectifier Circuit

Take the bridge rectifier and connect it to the power source. Use the capacitors and resistors to filter and regulate the current. You can refer to an electronics circuit diagram to make sure you connect the components correctly. Solder the components onto the circuit board.

Step 3: Connect the Transmitter Coil to the Circuit

Once the rectifier circuit is ready, connect the transmitter coil to it. Make sure the connections are secure by soldering them properly.

Step 4: Prepare the Receiver Coil

If you're making the receiver coil, follow the same process as the transmitter coil. Attach the receiver coil to the back of the device you want to charge. You can use double - sided tape or a small amount of glue to hold it in place.

Step 5: Test the Charger

Before putting everything in the enclosure, test the charger. Connect the power source to the transmitter circuit and place the device with the receiver coil on top of the transmitter coil. If everything is working correctly, the device should start charging.

Step 6: Enclose the Charger

Once you've confirmed that the charger is working, place all the components in the enclosure. Make sure to leave an opening for the power cable and any other necessary ports.
