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.

74. A system, comprising:
-
a source resonator optionally coupled to an energy source; a second resonator located a distance from the source resonator; and a third resonator located a distance from the source resonator and the second resonator; wherein the source resonator, the second resonator, and the third resonator are coupled to provide non-radiative wireless energy transfer among the resonators and wherein the second resonator is configured to receive energy from the source resonator and to transfer energy to the third resonator.
