Viziv Technologies LLC Partners with Baylor University to Develop Potentially Revolutionary Electrical Distribution Technology
Waxahachie, Texas-based Viziv Technologies LLC joins five other ventures conducting research in the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative
Posted on 28 Aug 2018 - Whitney Richter - Office of the Vice Provost for Research
>Viziv Technologies LLC and Baylor University have announced a new research partnership aimed at commercializing an entirely new means of delivering electrical energy wirelessly over long distances.
>Over four decades in development, Viziv’s systems use a phenomenon known as a Zenneck surface wave to transmit electromagnetic waves along the interface of earth and air. Viziv’s ultimate goal is to provide the capability to safely, economically and efficiently deliver electrical power virtually anywhere in the world through the use of surface wave technologies. Parallel research efforts at Viziv include the use of surface waves for communication, radio navigation and sensing. Research within the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC) will inform each of these applications as commercial development continues.
>The partnership is the first university collaboration for Viziv, an angel-funded startup company with approximately 30 full-time employees spread among its Waxahachie, Milford and BRIC locations. The company foresees doubling its workforce over the next year.
>“History is replete with examples of the power of people and organizations coming together to do what would be impossible individually,” said Viziv CEO and President, Brigadier General (retired) Michael W. Miller. “Viziv Technologies’ young history is a great example of just that – strategic alliances determined to ‘Power the Planet and Bring Light to the World.’ Our collaboration with Baylor University represents the first formal academic alliance for Viziv, and we are excited to officially begin what we expect to be a long and fruitful journey together.”

>The Viziv technology promises to make energy distribution safer and more reliable. A Zenneck surface wave is unaffected by lightning, geomagnetic disturbances, solar flares or electromagnetic pulses such as those generated by a nuclear blast, so only sending and receiving units will require protection. And unlike the electrical distribution systems that depend on a gridwork that is vulnerable to physical attack, and to cascading failures during peak power usage, wireless electrical delivery is designed to be virtually impervious to these threats. Plus, the field intensities generated are expected to be less than one percent of the current ANSI standards for safety in RF.
>“Viziv fits the paradigm for BRIC collaboration about as well as any I can think of,” said Truell Hyde, Ph.D., vice provost for research at Baylor. “Currently about 17 percent of the world’s population have no access to electrical power, and for many more people, availability is spotty and unreliable. This technology has the potential to raise the standard of living for people around the world – who wouldn’t want to be a part of something like that?”
>ABOUT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY
>Baylor University is a private CHRISTIAN University and a nationally ranked research institution. The University provides a vibrant campus community for more than 17,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating University in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 12 nationally recognized academic divisions.
