Method and apparatus for wireless transmission and reception of electric power
First Claim
1. An electric transmission system, comprising a transmitter for radiating a charge displacement current at a frequency of from 2 to 7 kHz and a receiver located remote from the transmitter for receiving the charge displacement current and converting the current into a form of electric power usable by an electrical device coupled to the receiver, the transmitter including means for generating electrical power at a first low frequency, means for pulsing the power at the radiating frequency, transformer means for raising the voltage of the pulsed power to a high voltage for radiating, and a radiating element coupled to an output of the transformer.

Abstract
An electric transmission system utilizes charge displacement for the wireless delivery of electric power. A transmitter for radiating a charge displacement current at a frequency of approximately 2 to 7 kHz to a receiver located remote from the transmitter. The receiver receives the charge displacement current and converts the current into a form of electric power usable by an electrical device coupled to the receiver. The transmitter may use a step up transformer with an input approximating a series of step function pulses at the intended transmission frequency to produce the required high voltage for transmission. The primary winding of the transformer is part of a tuned circuit having a resonant frequency higher than the frequency of the charge displacement current radiated.
