Claim 2:
3. A method of providing power from a mobile charger to an electrical vehicle comprising:
providing a transmission line extending between the mobile charger and the vehicle along a first section and further extending beyond the mobile charger along a second section and beyond the vehicle along a third section; and
transferring power from the mobile charger to the vehicle along the transmission line such that the mobile charger comprises a first voltage source and a second voltage source and the vehicle comprises a third voltage source and a fourth voltage source, the first, second, third, and fourth voltage sources being operably coupled to the transmission line, the step of transferring power is spatially directed from the mobile charger to the vehicle by choosing a phase angle between the second voltage source of the mobile charger and the third voltage source of the vehicle to facilitate transfer of the electric power along the first section and by choosing a phase angle between the first voltage source and the second voltage source to minimize transfer of the electric power along the second section and a phase angle between the third voltage source and the fourth voltage source to minimize transfer of the electric power along the third section.
