1. A through the wall wireless power transmission arrangement, the arrangement comprising:

  • at least one wall having a first side and a second side, with a first power transmission unit associated with the first side of the wall for transmitting electrical energy through the wall, the first power transmission unit comprising;

    a power source;

    a first power transducer; and

    a first power line electrically connecting the power source to the first power line, wherein the first power transducer receives an electric current from the power source and converts the current into a first energy form and propagates said first energy form through the wall from the first side of the wall to the second side of the wall, using the wall as a conductor;

    the through the wall wireless power transmission arrangement further comprising a second power transmission unit associated with the second side of the wall for receiving and propagating said energy form, the second power transmission unit comprising;

    a second power transducer, wherein the second power transducer receives said first energy form, and converts said first energy form back into an electric current, the second power transducer propagating said electric current;

    a second power line attached to the second power transducer, the second power line receiving the electric current from the second power transducer; and

    an electronic device attached to the second power line, wherein the second power line directs the electric current to the electronic device, thereby powering the electronic device, wherein the first power transducer is a signal processor that converts the electrical current into ultrasonic energy, and wherein the second power transducer is a signal processor that converts ultrasonic energy into an electrical current.
