  • Patent number: 11870307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the efficiency of an energy transfer device (100) with which electrical energy is converted contactlessly into electrical energy with the aid of a magnetic field in order to electrically excite a rotor of an electrical machine, comprising the step of: arranging an additional electrically conductive material layer (13) on at least one active part (12, 19, 35, 45) of the energy transfer device (100), wherein an active part of the energy transfer device (100) is a part of the energy transfer device (100) which is at least partially exposed to the magnetic field used for energy transfer, and wherein the electrical conductivity of the additional material layer (13) is greater than the electrical conductivity of the at least one active part (12, 19, 35, 45). Moreover, the invention relates to an energy transfer device (100) and to a use of an electrically conductive material.
