1. A mobile machine comprising:
- a mobile body capable of being tilted in a particular direction such that a distance between a particular part opposed to a travel surface and the travel surface is reduced; and
a plurality of power transmission resonators arranged at portions of the particular part of the mobile body, heights of the portions with reference to the travel surface being approximately identical with each other in a state of the mobile body being tilted,wherein the plurality of power transmission resonators receive electric power from a plurality of other power transmission resonators arranged on the travel surface opposed to the plurality of power transmission resonators in a state in which the mobile body is tilted in the particular direction, by coupling with induced magnetic fields from the other power transmission resonators, and phases of the induced magnetic fields radiated from the other power transmission resonators relate such that the induced magnetic fields cancel each other.

14. A wireless power transmission system comprising:
-
a mobile machine comprising a mobile body capable of being tilted in a particular direction such that a distance between a particular part opposed to a travel surface and the travel surface is reduced; a plurality of first power transmission resonators arranged at portions of the particular part of the mobile body, heights of the portions with reference to the travel surface being approximately identical with each other in a state of the mobile body being tilted; and a plurality of second power transmission resonators arranged on the travel surface so as to be opposed to the first power transmission resonators of the mobile machine, the second power transmission resonators being configured to wirelessly transmit electrical power to the first power transmission resonators by generating induced magnetic fields that couple with the first power transmission resonators, wherein the plurality of first power transmission resonators receive electric power from the second power transmission resonators in a state in which the mobile body is tilted in the particular direction, by coupling with the induced magnetic fields from the second power transmission resonators, and phases of the induced magnetic fields radiated from the second power transmission resonators relate such that the induced magnetic fields cancel each other.

15. A wireless power transmission method comprising:
-
tilting a mobile machine comprising a mobile body capable of being tilted in a particular direction such that a distance between a particular part opposed to a travel surface and the travel surface is reduced; providing a plurality of first power transmission resonators arranged at portions of the particular part of the mobile body, heights of the portions with reference to the travel surface being approximately identical with each other in a state of the mobile body being tilted wherein the mobile machine is tilted in the particular direction so that the first power transmission resonators are opposed to a plurality of second power transmission resonators arranged on the travel surface; and wirelessly transmitting electrical power from the second power transmission resonators to the first power transmission resonators by generating induced magnetic fields that couple with the first power transmission resonators in a state of the mobile body being titled in the particular direction, wherein the plurality of first power transmission resonators receive electric power from the second power transmission resonators in a state in which the mobile body is tilted in the particular direction, by coupling with induced magnetic fields from the second power transmission resonators, and phases of the induced magnetic fields radiated from the second power transmission resonators relate such that the induced magnetic fields cancel each other.
