Patent ID: 8922065

Claim:
A wireless energy transfer system, comprising: a first wireless energy transfer unit having at least one resonant frequency, said first wireless energy transfer unit including a first coil magnetically coupled to a first wireless energy transfer cell, said first wireless energy transfer cell comprising a first LC resonant tank including at least one first insulator having a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface of said at least one first insulator, a first conductor coil provided on said first surface of said at least one first insulator, and a first conductor element comprising a first plurality of conductive strips or a second conductor coil provided on said second surface of said at least one first insulator, wherein said first conductor coil, said at least one first insulator and said first conductor element form at least one capacitor of said first LC resonant tank; a second wireless energy transfer unit having said at least one resonant frequency, said second wireless energy transfer unit including a second coil magnetically coupled to a second wireless energy transfer cell, said second wireless energy transfer cell comprising a second LC resonant tank including at least one second insulator having a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface of said at least one second insulator, a third conductor coil provided on said first surface of said at least one second insulator, and a second conductor element comprising a second plurality of conductive strips or a fourth conductor coil provided on said second surface of said at least one second insulator, wherein said third conductor coil, said at least one second insulator and said second conductor element form at least one capacitor of said second LC resonant tank; and a load; wherein said first coil receives first electromagnetic wave energy, wherein in response to receipt of said first electromagnetic wave energy and through the magnetic coupling between said first coil and said first wireless energy transfer cell said first wireless energy transfer cell is caused to generate second electromagnetic wave energy, wherein said second wireless energy transfer cell receives said second electromagnetic wave energy, wherein in response to receipt of said second electromagnetic wave energy and through the magnetic coupling between said second wireless energy transfer cell and said second coil said second coil is caused to provide third electromagnetic wave energy to said load.
