Abstract:
1. A vehicle powering wireless receiver for use with a first electromagnetic resonator coupled to a power supply, the first electromagnetic resonator having a mode with a resonant frequency ω 1 , an intrinsic loss rate Γ 1 , and a first Q-factor Q 1 =ω 1 /2Γ 1 , the wireless receiver comprising: a load configured to power the drive system of a vehicle using electrical power; a second electromagnetic resonator adapted to be housed upon the vehicle and configured to be coupled to the load, the second electromagnetic resonator having a mode with a resonant frequency ω wherein the second electromagnetic resonator is configured to be wirelessly coupled to the first electromagnetic resonator to provide resonant, non-radiative wireless power to the second electromagnetic resonator from the first electromagnetic resonator; and an authorization facility to confirm compatibility of the resonators and provide authorization for initiation of transfer of power.
