Abstract:
1. A method of operating a resonant transformer, comprising: (a) initiating a first timing signal within a driver; (b) inputting power to the driver; (c) inducing a first alternating current into a primary winding, wherein the first alternating current is generated by the driver; (d) electromagnetically coupling the primary winding to a secondary winding; (e) storing energy, wherein the energy comprises an electric field between the plates of a first capacitor bank; (f) generating a second alternating current on the secondary winding at a frequency governed by an RLC circuit, wherein the RLC circuit includes the secondary winding and the first capacitor bank; (g) sensing the frequency of the second alternating current on the secondary winding; (h) sending a second timing signal to the driver based on the frequency of the second alternating current on the secondary winding, wherein the driver provides the first alternating current into the primary winding based on the second timing signal; (i) electromagnetically coupling at least one output winding to the secondary winding; and (j) outputting a third alternating current from the output winding into a rectifying circuitry.
