  • WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSFER
    Publication number: 20140265617
    Abstract: A wireless power system includes: i) a power source; ii) a source resonator configured to receive power from the power source; iii) a receiver resonator configured to provide power to a load; and iv) at least one repeater resonator configured to couple power wirelessly from the source resonator to the receiver resonator. The power source is configured to provide power to the source resonator at a first frequency f1 different from at least one of the resonant frequencies corresponding to the resonators.

  • Compact resonators for wireless energy transfer in vehicle applications
    Publication number: 20120313742
    Abstract: Described herein are compact resonator structures for wireless energy transfer that may be used in vehicle applications. The compact resonator structures comprise multiple parallel conductors to reduce the height of the structure. In some embodiments the compact resonator structures use angled routing of the conductor to reduce the effects of a minimum bend radius on the thickness of the structure.
