  • Resonant circuit for transmitting electric energy
    Patent number: 11735955
    Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting electrical energy to an electrical consumer, includes a transmitter device for transmitting an electrical energy having at least one first coil and a first capacitor for producing a resonant tank circuit at the transmitter device; at least one receiver device for receiving the energy transmitted by the transmitter device, including a second coil and a capacitor for producing a resonant tank circuit at the receiver device, wherein the receiver device is connectable to the consumer to form an electrical connection; a power amplifier; a transformer for matching the impedance between the resonant tank circuit at the receiver device and the consumer; and an electrical energy source—for supplying the resonant tank circuit at the transmitter device with electrical energy.
