Abstract
A system for wirelessly charging an electric vehicle comprises a wireless charging coil having a first end, a second end, and a plurality of turns. The first end has a first turn having a first radius r1 and the second end has an Nth turn having an Nth radius rN, rN<r1 such that the wireless charging coil is funnel shaped,
- where, an ascending distance between each adjacent turn of the wireless charging coil is:
Δj,j+1′=Δj+i−3,j+i−2+(Δ34′−Δi,i+1), for j≧4 and rj+1′>0
- where,
- Δj,j+1′=rj′−rj+1′ is the distance between adjacent turns,
- σ is between 0.05% and 0.2%,
- i is 2 to N;
- j is 1 to N; and
- Δ34′ is an ascending distance between the third turn and the fourth turn.
