Abstract: Steering assemblies, drilling systems, and method for drilling boreholes are described. The steering assemblies include a first member having a first transceiver connected to the first member, a second member arranged about the first member with a second transceiver connected to the second member, and a non-conductive gap between the first transceiver and the second transceiver. The first transceiver is positioned proximate to the second transceiver in an axial direction with the non-conductive gap therebetween, and at least one of the first transceiver and the second transceiver includes at least one nanocrystalline tape and is configured to transmit current between the first transceiver and the second transceiver.

Abstract: Steering assemblies, drilling systems, and method for drilling boreholes are described. The steering assemblies include a first member, an inner transceiver connected to the first member, a second member arranged about the first member, wherein the first member is rotatable within and relative to the second member, and an outer transceiver connected to the second member, wherein the outer transceiver is positioned proximate to the inner transceiver in an axial direction such that rotation of the inner transceiver induces a current within the outer transceiver to transmit at least one of power and data between the inner transceiver and the outer transceiver. At least one of the inner transceiver and the outer transceiver includes at least one nanocrystalline tape to enable the transmission of the at least one of power and data.
