1. A magnetic power coupling system, comprising:
- a receiver, that receives a magnetic signal that conveys power therein, and converts said magnetic signal into power, and produces a power output, said receiver including a connection to a load, wherein said connection allows coupling said power to said load, wherein said receiver creates an automatic feedback signal, said automatic feedback signal representing at least one characteristic of the power coupling, and said automatic feedback signal including at least information indicative of a concentration of the magnetic field received by the magnetic signal, and said automatic feedback signal being indicative of a characteristic of the power coupling that changes based on environmental conditions.

27. A method, comprising:
-
creating a magnetic power field to be coupled to a load; detecting if the load is present, and if so allowing a magnetic coupling field to be coupled to the load produce power to a load; and determining when the load is not present, and automatically shutting off transmission when the load is not present.

28. A method, comprising:
-
receiving electric power from a power source, to be transmitted to a remote receiver, coupling said power to said remote receiver magnetically by creating a magnetic field; receiving a signal indicative of a signal indicative of a feedback control, and changing a characteristic of the created magnetic field based on said signal responsive to ????] said feedback control. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)

31. A method, comprising:
-
using electric power to create a magnetic field that has the capability to convey power from a first location, where the electric power is created, to a second place remote from said first place; receiving the magnetic field in a receiver that is remote from a source of said electric power and is not connected thereto by an electric wire, and, based on said receiving, producing an electrical output signal based on said magnetic field; receiving a signal indicative of a feedback control in said receiver; and based on said feedback control signal, changing a characteristic of the created magnetic field based on said signal responsive to said feedback control. - View Dependent Claims (32)
