  • Publication number: 20100225175
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of forming a wireless power transfer system which include locating a source high-Q resonator on one side of a solid object, where the solid object may be an object from the group consisting of a solid non-conducting wall, or a solid non-conducting window, locating a receiving high-Q resonator on the other side of the solid object, aligning a first position of the source resonator with a second position of the receiving resonator, and using the source resonator to create a magnetic field, and using the receiving resonator to receive the magnetic field, and to produce an output that includes power based on said receiving the magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20100181844
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a wireless power system that include a signal generator, having a connection to a source of power, and which creates a substantially unmodulated signal at a first frequency, a transmitting high-Q resonator, generating a magnetic field having said first frequency and based on power created by said signal generator, a receiving high-Q resonator, receiving a magnetic power signal created by said transmitting resonator, said receiving resonator being a distance greater than 1 m spaced from said transmitting resonator, and a load receiving part, receiving power from said receiving resonator, wherein a transfer efficiency between said transmitting resonator and said receiving resonator is greater than 25% at 1 m of distance between said transmitting resonator and said receiving resonator.

  • Publication number: 20100117456
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of transmitting power wirelessly that include driving a high-Q non-radiative resonator at a value near its resonant frequency to produce a magnetic field output, said non-radiative-resonator formed of a combination of resonant parts, including at least an inductive part formed by a wire loop, and a capacitor part that is separate from a material forming the inductive part, and maintaining at least one characteristic of said resonator such that its usable range has a usable distance over which power can be received, which-distance is set by a detuning effect when a-second resonator gets too close to said resonator.

  • Publication number: 20090224856
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for use in wireless energy transfer, which includes a first resonator structure configured to transfer energy non-radiatively with a second resonator structure over a distance greater than a characteristic size of the second resonator structure. The non-radiative energy transfer is mediated by a coupling of a resonant field evanescent tail of the first resonator structure and a resonant field evanescent tail of the second resonator structure.
