The rate for energy transfer between two loops 10 and 12 at distance D between their centers, as shown in FIG. 3, is given by κ12=ωM/2√{square root over (L1L2)}, where M is the mutual inductance of the two loops 10 and 12. In the limit r<<D<<λ one can use the quasi-static result M=π/4·μON1N2(r1r2)2/D3, which means that ω/2κ˜(D/√{square root over (r1r2)})3. For example, by choosing again D/r=10, 8, 6 one can get for two loops of r=1 cm, same as used before, that ω/2κ=3033, 1553, 655 respectively, for the r=30 cm that ω/2κ=7131, 3651, 1540, and for the r=1 m that ω/2κ=6481, 3318, 1400. The corresponding coupling-to-loss ratios peak at the frequency where peaks the single-loop Q and are κ/F=0.4, 0.79, 1.97 and 0.15, 0.3, 0.72 and 0.2, 0.4, 0.94 for the three loop-kinds and distances. An example of dissimilar loops is that of a r=1 m (source on the ceiling) loop and a r=30 cm (household robot on the floor) loop at a distance D=3 m (room height) apart, for which κ/√{square root over (Γ1Γ2)}=0.88 peaks at f=6.4 MHz, in between the peaks of the individual Q's. Again, these values are not in the optimal regime κ/Γ<<1, but will be shown to be sufficient.
The invention provides a resonance-based scheme for mid-range wireless non-radiative energy transfer. Analyses of very simple implementation geometries provide encouraging performance characteristics for the potential applicability of the proposed mechanism. For example, in the macroscopic world, this scheme could be used to deliver power to robots and/or computers in a factory room, or electric buses on a highway (source-cavity would in this case be a “pipe” running above the highway). In the microscopic world, where much smaller wavelengths would be used and smaller powers are needed, one could use it to implement optical inter-connects for CMOS electronics or else to transfer energy to autonomous nano-objects, without worrying much about the relative alignment between the sources and the devices; energy-transfer distance could be even longer compared to the objects' size, since Im{∈(κ)} of dielectric materials can be much lower at the required optical frequencies than it is at microwave frequencies. Accordingly, FIG. 8 is a schematic drawing showing an exemplary system in which a high-Q source resonator 810 is receiving power from a power supply 820 and wirelessly transfers non-radiative electromagnetic energy to multiple high-Q device resonators 830 and 840, each of which is coupled to an energy drain 850 and 860, respectively.
