WIRELESS POWER-RELAY TRANSMISSION AND DISTANCE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A wireless energy transfer system for transferring energy from an energy source to an energy drain, comprising:
- a wireless relay including a plurality of serially coupled wireless transmission segments defining a set of interfaces between pairs of said wireless transmission segments and further including a coupler disposed at each said interface of said set of interfaces wherein each said coupler includes a begin energy transfer node having a begin wireless transfer coupling value, an end energy transfer node having an end wireless transfer coupling value different from said begin wireless transfer coupling value configured to be non-interactive within a predetermined level wireless transfer performance with said begin wireless transfer coupling value, and a regenerator coupled to both said nodes.

Abstract
A new wireless power-relay system suitable for any scale or distance of power transmission and distribution, whether in-building, inter-building, intra-city, or long-distance/inter-city, primarily based on low-frequency magnetic resonance field coupling, but alternatively based on low-frequency E-M waves; with multiple stages of non-interfering send-and-receive pairs that realizes a “power relay” process, structure and system, repeatable and extendable to any distance; and employing efficient shielding for highly-directed rather than omnidirectional field and wave emission; and finally and importantly, employing field and wave-guiding structures to increase efficiency and reduce cost in built and un-built environments.

16. A method for transferring wirelessly energy from an energy source to an energy drain, comprising:
-
a) energizing a first set of begin energy transfer nodes, each said begin energy transfer node including a begin wireless transfer coupling value; b) energizing, responsive to said energization of said first set of begin energy transfer nodes, a first set of end energy transfer nodes, each said end energy transfer node having an end wireless transfer coupling value wherein each particular single one energized end energy transfer node is energized by a single one energized begin energy transfer node having a begin wireless transfer coupling value matching said end wireless transfer coupling value of said particular single one energized end energy transfer node within an interaction range; c) transferring energy from the energy source coupled to a specific begin energy transfer node to the energy drain coupled to a specific end energy transfer node; wherein said wireless relay includes a set of a plurality of energized begin energy transfer nodes within said interaction range of each said energized end energy transfer nodes with all energized begin energy transfer nodes other than said single one energized begin energy transfer node of said set of said plurality of energized begin energy transfer nodes each having a begin wireless transfer coupling value different from said begin wireless transfer coupling value of said single one energized begin energy transfer node; and wherein said wireless relay includes a set of a plurality of energized end energy transfer nodes within said interaction range of each said energized begin energy transfer nodes with all energized energy transfer nodes other than said single one energized end energy transfer node of said set of said plurality of energized end energy transfer nodes each having an end wireless transfer coupling value different from said end wireless transfer coupling value of said single one energized end energy transfer node.
