SERIES RELAYED WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A system for wireless energy distribution across a vehicle compartment of defined area, the system comprising:
- a source resonator coupled to an energy source of a vehicle and generating an oscillating magnetic field with a frequency; and
at least one repeater resonator positioned along the vehicle compartment, the at least one repeater resonator positioned in proximity to the source resonator, the at least one repeater resonator having a resonant frequency and comprising a high-conductivity material adapted and located between the at least one repeater resonator and a vehicle surface to direct the oscillating magnetic field away from the vehicle surface,wherein the at least one repeater resonator provides an effective wireless energy transfer area within the defined area.
