First Claim
Patent Images
1. ) An electrical power transmission system for transmitting power through a ground plane comprising:
- a phased array of two or more non-radiating transmitters capable of generating a series of moving, reactive power ground waves and transmitting the waves through the ground plane to a focus; and
a receiver, spaced apart from the array of transmitters and proximate the focus, for converting the series of moving, reactive power ground waves to real power for use in driving an electrical load.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transmitting electrical power through a ground plane are provided. A phased array of transmitters transmits moving, reactive power ground waves through a ground plane to a focus. A receiver, disposed proximate the focus, collects and converts the reactive power to real power for use in driving an electrical load. By adjusting the timing between the individual transmitters in the array, the focus may be moved to accommodate a mobile receiver. The reactive power ground waves may enter the receiver by conduction or induction.
