Abstract: A system for recharging storage batteries in an electric motor vehicle includes a stationary unit and a vehicle mounted unit. The stationary unit is provided with a first dielectric case and a high-frequency generator connected to the electric supply mains and to at least one inductor positioned proximate a front wall of the first dielectric case. The vehicle mounted unit includes a second dielectric case positionable adjacent the front wall of the first dielectric case. The second dielectric case is provided with at least one sensor connected to a rectifier which is connected, in turn, to the storage batteries of the vehicle. The at least one sensor is positioned proximate an exterior wall of the second case while both the at least one inductor and sensor are formed from respective flat coils capable of being magnetically coupled through air when positioned adjacent each other.

Abstract: This generator for supplying high-frequency power to an arc lamp (12), coises:a primary circuit (1) connected up to the terminals (5, 6) of the power-supply mains and incorporating an electromagnetic inductor (L', T) connected to a resonant circuit (7);a secondary circuit (2) comprising, in series, the arc lamp (12) and an electromagnetic sensor (E.sub.1, E.sub.2) making it possible to provide magnetic coupling with the primary circuit (1) at high frequency.The secondary circuit (2) is formed by two electrical circuits (10, 11) mounted in parallel with the terminals of the lamp (12), each of the two circuits incorporating an electromagnetic sensor coupled with the electromagnetic inductor of the primary circuit (1).
