Abstract
A method and system for efficient distribution of power using wireless means, and a system and method for wireless power distribution to provide electric devices, such as vehicles with a way to continuously and wirelessly collect, use and charge their power systems and thereby use the transmitted power for operation. The system and method allows a hybrid, simplified and less costly way to charge devices, such as vehicles so that the devices continuously operate while charging/recharging.

21. An electric device charging system, comprising:
-
a coupling to a power source which provides electric power; a first electrical storage device which includes a member of the group consisting of a super capacitor (SC) and a high speed charging battery (HSCB); a second electrical storage device which includes a member of the group consisting of a second high speed charging battery (HSCB) and a slow speed charging battery (SSCB); a power management system (PMS) which includes a processor and software, wherein the software, when executed by the processor, causes the PMS to; control a power transfer from the first electrical storage device to the second electrical storage device; wherein the PMS controls the power transfer based upon at least one characteristic of the second electrical storage device and a charge stored on the second electrical storage device to reduce the number of charge cycles needed by the second electrical storage device to thereby extend the usable life of the second electrical storage device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)

57. An electric device charging system, comprising:
-
a coupling to a power source which provides electric power; a first electrical storage device which includes a member of the group consisting of a super capacitor (SC) and a high speed charging battery (HSCB); a second electrical storage device which includes a member of the group consisting of a second high speed charging battery (HSCB) and a slow speed charging battery (SSCB); a power management system (PMS) which includes a processor and software, wherein the software, when executed by the processor, causes the PMS to; control a power transfer from the first electrical storage device to the second electrical storage device; wherein the power transfers is controlled to cause a larger amount of power to be transferred in a fixed amount of time from the power source to electric charge stored on the second electrical storage device than would be possible by transferring the electric power directly from the power source to the second electrical storage device, to thereby increase the amount of electric charge that can be added to the second electrical storage device in the fixed amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91)
