Definitions
- Wireless energy transfer may for example, be useful in such applications as providing power to autonomous electrical or electronic devices.
- Radiative modes of omni-directional antennas are not suitable for such energy transfer, because a vast majority of energy is wasted into free space.
- Directed radiation modes, using lasers or highly- directional antennas can be efficiently used for energy transfer, even for long distances (transfer distance L TR ANS»L DE V, where L DEV is the characteristic size of the device and/or the source), but require existence of an uninterruptible line-of-sight and a complicated tracking system in the case of mobile objects.
- Some transfer schemes rely on induction, but are typically restricted to very close-range ⁇ L TR ANS «L DE V) or low power ( ⁇ mW) energy transfers.
- resonant objects with coupled resonant modes having localized evanescent field patterns may be used for wireless non-radiative energy transfer.
- Resonant objects tend to couple, while interacting weakly with other off-resonant environmental objects.
- the energy-transfer rate can be larger than the energy-loss rate. Accordingly, efficient wireless energy-exchange can be achieved between the resonant objects, while suffering only modest transfer and dissipation of energy into other off-resonant objects.
- the nearly-omnidirectional but stationary (non- lossy) nature of the near field makes this mechanism suitable for mobile wireless receivers.
- Various embodiments therefore have a variety of possible applications including for example, placing a source (e.g. one connected to the wired electricity network) on the ceiling of a factory room, while devices (robots, vehicles, computers, or similar) are roaming freely within the room.
- Other applications include power supplies for electric-engine buses and/or hybrid cars and medical implantable devices.
- resonant modes are so-called magnetic resonances, for which most of the energy surrounding the resonant objects is stored in the magnetic field; i.e. there is very little electric field outside of the resonant objects. Since most everyday materials (including animals, plants and humans) are non-magnetic, their interaction with magnetic fields is minimal. This is important both for safety and also to reduce interaction with the extraneous environmental objects.

- energy is transferred, over a distance D, between a resonant source object having a characteristic size L 1 and a resonant device object of characteristic size L 2 . Both objects are resonant objects.
- the source object is connected to a power supply (not shown), and the device object is connected to a power consuming device (e.g. a load resistor, not shown).
- Energy is provided by the power supply to the source object, transferred wirelessly and non-radiatively from the source object to the device object, and consumed by the power consuming device.
- the wireless non-radiative energy transfer is performed using the field (e.g. the electromagnetic field or acoustic field) of the system of two resonant objects.
- field is the electromagnetic field.
- a single source object can transfer energy to multiple device objects.
- energy may be transferred from a first device to a second, and then from the second device to the third, and so forth.
- CMT Coupled-mode theory
- the field of the system of two resonant objects 1 and 2 is approximated by F(r,t)& ai(t) ⁇ ](r) +a 2 (t) ⁇ ⁇ 2 (v) , where are the eigenmodes of 1 and 2 alone, normalized to unity energy, and the field amplitudes aij(t) are defined so that ⁇ ai t2 (t) ⁇ 2 is equal to the energy stored inside the objects 1 and 2 respectively. Then, the field amplitudes can be shown to satisfy, to lowest order: da ⁇ . , x
- &>i,2 are the individual eigenfrequencies of the eigenmodes
- /l j2 are the resonance widths due to the objects' intrinsic (absorption, radiation etc.) losses
- K is the coupling coefficient.
- the coupling to loss ratio KZyJT 1 T 2 serves as a figure -of-merit in evaluating a system used for wireless energy-transfer, along with the distance over which this ratio can be achieved.
- the regime K / -JF 1 F 2 ⁇ 1 is called "strong-coupling" regime.
- finite objects namely ones that are topologically surrounded everywhere by air
- very long-lived (so-called "high- ⁇ ") states can be found, whose tails display the needed exponential or exponential-like decay away from the resonant object over long enough distances before they turn oscillatory
- this mid-range non- radiative coupling can be achieved using resonant objects of subwavelength size, and thus significantly longer evanescent field-tails.
- subwavelength resonances can often be accompanied with a high Q , so this will typically be the appropriate choice for the possibly-mobile resonant device-object.
- the resonant source-object will be immobile and thus less restricted in its allowed geometry and size, which can be therefore chosen large enough that the near- field extent is not limited by the wavelength.
- Objects of nearly infinite extent such as dielectric waveguides, can support guided modes whose evanescent tails are decaying exponentially in the direction away from the object, slowly if tuned close to cutoff, and can have nearly infinite Q.
- one or more of the resonant objects are self-resonant conducting wire loops.
- the wire has distributed inductance and distributed capacitance, and therefore it supports a resonant mode of frequency ⁇ .
- S. Sensiper Electromagnetic wave propagation on helical conductors. PhD Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1951.
- Losses in this resonant system consist of ohmic (material absorption) loss inside the wire and radiative loss into free space.
- ohmic material absorption
- R ra total radiation resistance
- energy is transferred between two self resonant conducting-wire coils.
- the magnetic field is used to couple the different resonant conducting-wire coils at a distance D between their centers.
- restriction of electric coupling in favor of magnetic coupling can be achieved in the system under consideration for coils with h ⁇ r .
- defining the current distributions, peak currents and inductances of two coils 1, 2 respectively as J 1 2 (x) , / 1)2 and Z 1 2 which are the analogs of j(x) , I 0 and L for the single-coil case and are therefore well defined, we can define their mutual inductance through the total energy:
- one or more of the resonant objects are capacitively loaded conducting-wire coils.
- the presence of the loading capacitor modifies significantly the current distribution inside the wire and therefore the total effective inductance L and total effective capacitance C of the coil are different respectively from L s and C s , which are calculated for a self-resonant coil of the same geometry using a sinusoidal current profile. Since some charge is accumulated at the plates of the external loading capacitor, the charge distribution p inside the wire is reduced, so C ⁇ C S , and thus, from the charge conservation equation, the current distribution j flattens out, so L > L s .
- the resonant frequency for this system is
- energy is transferred between two self capacitively-loaded coils.
- the mutual inductance M can be evaluated numerically from Eq. (6) by using constant current distributions in the case ⁇ ⁇ sc ⁇ s .
- N 1 N 2 integers, again we have an analytical formula, which, in the quasi- static limit r «D « ⁇ and for the relative orientation shown in Figure 4, is x3
- the optimal frequency where the figure -of-merit is maximized, is that where S JQ 1 Q 2 is maximized, since Q ⁇ does not depend on frequency (at least for the distances D « ⁇ of interest for which the quasi-static approximation is still valid). Therefore, the optimal frequency is independent of the distance D between the two coils and lies between the two frequencies where the single-coil Qi and Q 2 peak. For same coils, it is given by Eq.(7) and then the figure -of-merit Eq.(9) becomes Referring to Table 4, numerical FEFD and, in parentheses, analytical results based on the above are shown for two systems each composed of a matched pair of the loaded coils described in Table 3.
- the results above can be used to increase or optimize the performance of a wireless energy transfer system which employs capacitively loaded coils.
- the scaling of Eq.(lO) with the different system parameters one sees that to maximize the system f ⁇ gure-of-merit K / T one can, for example:
- the above analysis technique can be used to design systems with desired parameters. For example, as listed below, the above described techniques can be used to determine the cross sectional radius a of the wire which one should use when designing as system two same single-turn coils with a given radius in order to achieve a specific performance in terms of K, / T at a given D /r between them, when the material is copper
- the device under consideration is very specific (e.g. a laptop or a cell phone), so the dimensions of the device object (r d , h d , a d , N d ) are very restricted.
- the restrictions on the source object (r s , h s , a s , N s ) are much less, since the source can, for example, be placed under the floor or on the ceiling.
- the desired distance is often well defined, based on the application (e.g. D - Im for charging a laptop on a table wirelessly from the floor). Listed below are examples
- the quality factor Q of the resonant objects is limited from external perturbations and thus varying the coil parameters cannot lead to improvement in Q .
- the coupling does not depend on the frequency and the number of turns, and depends very weakly on the coil heights. Therefore, the remaining degrees of freedom are: —Increase the wire radii ai and ci2. In typical embodiments, this action is limited by physical size considerations.
- this action is limited by physical size considerations.
- the coupling is optimized when both cylindrical coils have exactly the same axis of cylindrical symmetry (namely they are "facing" each other). Particular mutual coil angles and orientations that lead to zero mutual inductance (such as the orientation where the axes of the two coils are perpendicular) should obviously be avoided.
- Mode- solving calculations for this type of disk resonances were performed using two independent methods: numerically, 2D finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) simulations (which solve Maxwell's Equations in frequency domain exactly apart for spatial discretization) were conducted with a resolution of 3 Opts/r; analytically, standard separation of variables (SV) in polar coordinates was used.
- FDFD finite-difference frequency-domain
- ⁇ shown in Table 5, might at first seem unrealistically large. However, not only are there in the microwave regime (appropriate for approximately meter-range coupling applications) many materials that have both reasonably high enough dielectric constants and low losses (e.g. Titania, Barium tetratitanatem, Lithium tantalite etc.), but also ⁇ could signify instead the effective index of other known sub wavelength surface-wave systems, such as surface-plasmon modes on surfaces of metal-like (negative- ⁇ ) materials or metallo-dielectric photonic crystals.
- ⁇ could signify instead the effective index of other known sub wavelength surface-wave systems, such as surface-plasmon modes on surfaces of metal-like (negative- ⁇ ) materials or metallo-dielectric photonic crystals.
- the overall performance of particular embodiment of the resonance- based wireless energy-transfer scheme depends strongly on the robustness of the resonant objects' resonances. Therefore, it is desirable to analyze the resonant objects' sensitivity to the near presence of random non-resonant extraneous objects.
- One appropriate analytical model is that of "perturbation theory" (PT), which suggests that in the presence of an extraneous object e the field amplitude ai(t) inside the resonant object 1 satisfies, to first order:
- each resonant object is provided with an oscillator at fixed frequency and a monitor which determines the frequency of the object. Both the oscillator and the monitor are coupled to a frequency adjuster which can adjust the frequency of the resonant object by, for example, adjusting the geometric properties of the object (e.g. the height of a self resonant coil, the capacitor plate spacing of a capacitively loaded coil, the shape of a dielectric disc, etc.) or changing the position of a non-resonant object in the vicinity of the resonant object.
- a frequency adjuster which can adjust the frequency of the resonant object by, for example, adjusting the geometric properties of the object (e.g. the height of a self resonant coil, the capacitor plate spacing of a capacitively loaded coil, the shape of a dielectric disc, etc.) or changing the position of a non-resonant object in the vicinity of the resonant object.
- the frequency adjuster determines the difference between the fixed frequency and the object frequency and acts to bring the object frequency into alignment with the fixed frequency. This technique assures that all resonant objects operate at the same fixed frequency, even in the presence of extraneous objects
- the device object provides energy to a load, and an efficiency monitor measures the efficiency of the transfer.
- a frequency adjuster coupled to the load and the efficiency monitor acts to adjust the frequency of the object to maximize the transfer efficiency.
- other frequency adjusting schemes may be used which rely on information exchange between the resonant objects.
- the frequency of a source object can be monitored and transmitted to a device object, which is in turn synched to this frequency using frequency adjusters as described above.
- the frequency of a single clock may be transmitted to multiple devices, and each device then synched to that frequency.
- the extrinsic loss can be detrimental to the functionality of the energy-transfer scheme, because it is difficult to remedy, so the total loss rate
- resonant systems have different degree of sensitivity to external perturbations, and the resonant system of choice depends on the particular application at hand, and how important matters of sensitivity or safety are for that application.
- a medical implantable device such as a wirelessly powered artificial heart
- the electric field extent must be minimized to the highest degree possible to protect the tissue surrounding the device.
- sensitivity to external objects or safety is important, one should design the resonant systems so that the ratio of electric to magnetic energy density u e l u m is reduced or minimized at most of the desired (according to the application) points in the surrounding space.
- Different temporal schemes can be used to extract power from the device (e.g. steady-state continuous-wave drainage, instantaneous drainage at periodic times and so on) and their efficiencies exhibit different dependence on the combined system parameters.
- the dimensions of the resonant objects will be set by the particular application at hand. For example, when this application is powering a laptop or a cellphone, the device resonant object cannot have dimensions larger that those of the laptop or cell-phone respectively.
- the independent parameters left to adjust for the system optimization are: the number of turns N s d , the frequency/and the work-extraction rate (load resistance) T work .
- the primary dependent variable that one wants to increase or optimize is the overall efficiency ⁇ work .
- the design may be constrained by, for example, the currents flowing inside the wires I s d and the voltages across the capacitors V s d . These limitations can be important because for -Watt power applications the values for these parameters can be too large for the wires or the capacitors respectively to handle.
- the radiated powers P rad s d should be minimized for safety concerns, even though, in general, for a magnetic, non-radiative scheme they are already typically small.
- the increased inductance L d implies reduced required capacitance C d , which could be achieved in principle, for a capacitively-loaded device coil by increasing the spacing of the device capacitor plates d d and for a self-resonant coil by increasing through h d the spacing of adjacent turns, resulting in an electric field ( ⁇ V d I d d for the former case) that actually decreases with N d ; however, one cannot in reality increase d d or h d too much, because then the undesired capacitance fringing electric fields would become very large and/or the size of the coil might become too large; and, in any case, for certain applications extremely high voltages are not desired.
- An experimental realization of an embodiment of the above described scheme for wireless energy transfer consists of two self-resonant coils of the type described above, one of which (the source coil) is coupled inductively to an oscillating circuit, and the second (the device coil) is coupled inductively to a resistive load, as shown schematically in Fig. 14.
- A is a single copper loop of radius 25cm that is part of the driving circuit, which outputs a sine wave with frequency 9.9MHz.
- S and D are respectively the source and device coils referred to in the text.
- B is a loop of wire attached to the load ("light-bulb").
- the various K 'S represent direct couplings between the objects.
- the angle between coil D and the loop A is adjusted so that their direct coupling is zero, while coils S and D are aligned coaxially.
- the direct coupling between B and A and between B and S is negligible.
- the coupling coefficient K can be found experimentally by placing the two self- resonant coils (fine-tuned, by slightly adjusting h , to the same resonant frequency when isolated) a distance D apart and measuring the splitting in the frequencies of the two resonant modes.
- the comparison between experimental and theoretical results as a function of distance when the two the coils are aligned coaxially is shown in Fig.15.
- Fig. 16 shows a comparison of experimental and theoretical values for the parameter K /F as a function of the separation between the two coils.
- the theory values are obtained by using the theoretically obtained K and the experimentally measured F .
- the shaded area represents the spread in the theoretical ⁇ lT due to the ⁇ 5% uncertainty in Q .
- the power supply circuit was a standard Colpitts oscillator coupled inductively to the source coil by means of a single loop of copper wire 25cm in radius (see Fig. 14 ).
- the load consisted of a previously calibrated light-bulb, and was attached to its own loop of insulated wire, which was in turn placed in proximity of the device coil and inductively coupled to it.
- the parameter F w /F was adjusted so that it matched its optimal value, given theoretically by
- the work extracted was determined by adjusting the power going into the Colpitts oscillator until the light-bulb at the load was at its full nominal brightness.
- the power transfer was not found to be visibly affected as humans and various everyday objects, such as metallic and wooden furniture, as well as electronic devices large and small, were placed between the two coils, even when they drastically obstructed the line of sight between source and device. External objects were found to have an effect only when they were closer than 10cm from either one of the coils. While some materials (such as aluminum foil, styrofoam and humans) mostly just shifted the resonant frequency, which could in principle be easily corrected with a feedback circuit of the type described above, others (cardboard, wood, and PVC) lowered Q when placed closer than a few centimeters from the coil, thereby lowering the efficiency of the transfer.
- materials such as aluminum foil, styrofoam and humans
- this scheme could potentially be used to deliver power to for example, robots and/or computers in a factory room, or electric buses on a highway.
- source-object could be an elongated "pipe" running above the highway, or along the ceiling.
- Some embodiments of the wireless transfer scheme can provide energy to power or charge devices that are difficult of impossible to reach using wires or other techniques.
- some embodiments may provide power to implanted medical devices (e.g. artificial hearts, pacemakers, medicine delivery pumps, etc.) or buried underground sensors
- CMOS electronics 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 to transfer energy to autonomous nano-objects (e.g. MEMS or nano-robots) without worrying much about the relative alignment between the sources and the devices. Furthermore, the range of applicability could be extended to acoustic systems, where the source and device are connected via a common condensed-matter object.
- nano-objects e.g. MEMS or nano-robots
- the techniques described above can provide non radiative, wireless transfer of information using the localized near fields of resonant object. Such schemes provide increased security because no information is radiated into the far-field, and are well suited for mid-range communication of highly sensitive information.
