Claim 7:
8. A wireless power transfer system operatively associated with eyewear and a receptacle, the receptacle configured for mechanical interaction with the eyewear, the eyewear including a front face, a first arm, a second arm, and a load, the wireless power transfer system comprising:
a wireless transmission system operatively associated with the receptacle, the wireless transmission system configured to transmit wireless power signals, the wireless transmission system comprising a first transmitter antenna and a second transmitter antenna;
a first wireless receiver system configured to receive the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system, the first wireless receiver system comprising:
a first repeater antenna positioned on or within the first arm, the first repeater antenna configured to receive the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system and transmit first repeated wireless power signals, and
a first receiver antenna positioned on or within the first arm;

a second wireless receiver system configured to receive the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system, the second wireless receiver system comprising:
a second repeater antenna positioned on or within the second arm, the second repeater antenna configured to receive the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system and transmit second repeated wireless power signals,
a second receiver antenna positioned on or within the second arm;

wherein the first receiver antenna is configured to receive one or both of the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system or the second repeated wireless power signals from the second repeater antenna and the second receiver antenna is configured to receive one or both of the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system or the first repeated wireless power signals from the first repeater antenna;
wherein the first arm and the second arm are configurable to be folded inward toward the front face in at least a first folded configuration and a second folded configuration, wherein the first folded configuration comprises the first arm folded in closer proximity to the front face than the second arm, and wherein the second folded configuration comprises the second arm folded in closer proximity to the front face than the first arm, and
wherein, in the first folded configuration the second receiver antenna is configured to receive first wireless power signals from the first transmitter antenna, the second repeater antenna is configured to receive second wireless power signals from the second transmitter antenna, and the first receiver antenna is configured to receive the second wireless power signals via the second repeated wireless power signals transmitted by the second repeater antenna; and wherein, in the second folded configuration the first receiver antenna is configured to receive the second wireless power signals from the second transmitter antenna, the first repeater antenna is configured to receive the first wireless power signals from the first wireless transmitter antenna, and the second receiver antenna is configured to receive the first wireless power signals via the first repeated wireless power signals transmitted by the first repeater antenna.
