Abstract

A system for transmitting microwave energy and recharging wireless devices and tools is disclosed. The system has a microwave source, electric power source, a microwave energy converter, a transmitter, a receiver, an electric energy converter, and a wireless device. When the charging level of a rechargeable battery of wireless device is low, the microwave energy converter converts microwave and electrical energy to microwave energy. The microwave energy is transmitted to the wireless device. The wireless device receives the microwave energy and the electric energy converter converts the microwave energy to the electrical energy. The electrical energy is utilized for charging the rechargeable battery of the wireless device.
