Abstract
Disclosed herein are a wearable wireless power transmission apparatus and a wearable wireless power transmission using the same. The apparatus includes a wearable energy harvesting unit, a wearable battery unit, a wearable power charging unit, a wearable power transmission processing unit, and a fiber-type primary coil unit. The wearable energy harvesting unit generates power from at least one of light energy and kinetic energy, and is attachable to fabric. The wearable battery unit stores the power, and is attachable and detachable to and from the fabric. The wearable power charging unit rectifies the power, charges the wearable battery unit, and is attachable and detachable to and from the fabric. The wearable power transmission processing unit generates a transmission signal, and is attachable and detachable to and from the fabric. The fiber-type primary coil unit wirelessly transmits the transmission signal to the secondary coil unit of the power reception terminal.
