1. An in-body power supply for supplying energy to drive an in-body device, the in-body power supply comprising:

  • a receiver for receiving energy from an external power source outside the body; and

    a transfer for transferring energy from the receiver to the in-body device, wherein the transfer determines an energy level of the energy and limits the energy to be transferred to the in-body device when the energy level exceeds a predetermined threshold such that variations in energy from the external power source are compensated for without communication between the in-body power supply and the external power source.
