Power transmission network
First Claim
1. A network for power transmission to a receiver which converts the power into current comprising:
- a first node for transmitting power wirelessly in a first area, the first area having a minimum electric or magnetic field strength; and
a second node for transmitting power wirelessly in a second area, the second area having a minimum electric or magnetic field strength and overlapping the first area to define an overlap area.

Abstract
A network for power transmission to a receiver that converts the power into current includes a first node for transmitting power wirelessly in a first area. The first area has a minimum electric or magnetic field strength. The network includes a second node for transmitting power wirelessly in a second area. The second area has a minimum electric or magnetic field strength and overlaps the first area to define an overlap area. In another embodiment, the network includes a source in communication with the first and second nodes which provides power to them. Also disclosed are methods for power transmission to a receiver that converts the power into current.
