Abstract: An underwater inductive power transfer system enabling power to be transferred from a docking station to another underwater system without direct physical electrical contact between conductors. The power transfer system may include a probe configured to be inserted into a probe receiving chamber. The probe may include a plurality of partial transformers positioned to be aligned with a plurality of transformers proximate to a surface forming a probe receiving chamber. The probe may include partial transformers positioned on opposite sides of the probe, and the prove receiving cavity may include partial transformers positioned on opposite sides of the cavity. The probe receiving chamber may be sized such that the partial transformers in the probe may be positioned in close proximity to the partial transformers in the sidewalls forming the probe receiving chamber so that power may be transmitted between the transformers.
