  • WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER
    Publication number: 20140091756
    Abstract: Methods and systems for wireless transmission of power to a battery-operated device include a power receiving apparatus featuring at least one receiving resonator and a housing dimensioned to engage with a battery compartment of a battery-operated device, and a power transmitting apparatus including: a first pair of spaced source resonators, where each source resonator in the first pair features a loop of conducting material surrounding a common first axis; a second pair of spaced source resonators, where each source resonator in the second pair features a loop of conducting material surrounding a common second axis different from the first axis; and a controller coupled to the first and second pairs of source resonators and configured to provide non-radiative wireless power transfer from the power transmitting apparatus to the power receiving apparatus by alternately activating the first and second pairs of source resonators.
