1. A system for reducing vibration in an electric vehicle, the system comprising:
- a charging panel;
an armature assembly coupled to the electric vehicle and the charging panel, the armature assembly including a floating section that isolates vibration between the charging panel and the electric vehicle, wherein the floating section includes a first portion coupled to one of the electric vehicle or the charging panel and a second portion coupled to the other one of the electric vehicle or the charging panel,wherein the first portion includes a T-shaped element having a T-top that is substantially enclosed by the second portion and a T-leg that extends away from the T-top and that protrudes from the second portion,wherein, in a cross-sectional view, the second portion conforms to a shape of the T-top to substantially enclose the T-top; and
a plurality of magnet assemblies, each magnet assembly of the plurality of magnet assemblies including a first magnet coupled to the first portion and a second magnet coupled to the second portion opposite the first magnet with like poles oriented toward each other,wherein a first set of the plurality of magnet assemblies is located closer to a first end of the T-top than a second end of the T-top that is opposite the first end, andwherein a second set of the plurality of magnet assemblies is located closer to the second end of the T-top than the first end.
