A contribution to the wireless transmission of power

A resonant transmitter–receiver system is described for the wireless transmission of energy at a useful distance for grid-coordinate power and information. Experimental results are given showing delivery of power of an unmodified Tesla resonator contrasted with a modified version achieving improved efficiency over a 4 m range. A theoretical basis is provided to back up the experimental results obtained and to link the study with previous research in the field. A number of potential routes are suggested for further investigations and some possible applications of the technology are considered.

► We present a model of wireless energy transfer and the methodology of its construction.
► We present a mathematical model describing the scheme under consideration.
► We examine the theoretical and experimental performance of this model.
► We contrast this model with other models in the current state-of-the-art.
► We conclude this model demonstrates an additional arrangement for wireless power transmission.
