Abstract
An electrical power distribution system and method are provided, wherein the system includes a primary generator and a secondary harvester. The primary generator includes a primary coil configured to emit an electromagnetic field when an electrical power is supplied to the primary coil, and a first communication device configured to communicate a signal. The secondary harvester includes a secondary coil configured to supply an electrical power when receiving the emitted electromagnetic field, and a second communication device configured to communicate the signal, such that the first and second communication devices communicate the signal independent from the emitted electromagnetic field.
