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.
