Method and Means of Eliminating Wiring Harness in High-Speed and High-Precision Machines
First Claim
1. A method for wirelessly providing electrical energy to a moving platform that is movable relative to a base or ground structure, the method comprising:
- moving the moving platform relative to the base or ground structure;
providing a device on the moving platform for converting a first energy to the electrical energy;
directing a source of the first energy at the device;
converting the first energy to the electrical energy at an output of the device; and
providing the electrical energy to one or more of an electrical or electronic device associated with the moving platform or to an energy storage device associated with the moving platform.
