Abstract
A bag for wireless energy transfer comprising a compartment for storing an electronic device enabled for wireless energy transfer, and at least one magnetic resonator positioned for wireless energy transfer to the electronic device, wherein a the at least one magnetic resonator optionally operates in one of three modes: (1) as a repeater resonator to extend the energy transfer to the electronic device from an external wireless energy source, (2) as a source resonator transferring energy from a battery in the bag to the electronic device, and (3) as an energy capture resonator receiving wireless energy from an external source to recharge a battery in the bag.
