Abstract
A wireless power transmission system includes first source conductor that generates a first electromagnetic near field in response to a power source. A first source element resonates in response to excitation from the first source conductor. A second resonant source element resonates in response to excitation from the first source conductor. A first resonant load element resonates in response to excitation from the first resonant source element. The first resonant load element generates a fluctuating field when resonating. A second resonant load element resonates at the second resonant frequency in response to excitation from the second resonant source element. The second resonant load element generates a fluctuating field when resonating. A first load element generates a first current applied to a first load in response to resonance in the first resonant load element and the second resonant load element.
