Patent Summary

Inductive power transfer system for wireless power delivery that eliminates the need for conductive connections between the power source and load. The system employs a unique architecture where the power source and load are connected through a resonant inductor pair, with the power source generating a periodic low-energy power pulse. This pulse is transmitted through the resonant inductor to the load, where it induces a controlled current flow. The system incorporates a passive transmission lock mechanism that automatically detects the presence of the load coil and initiates the power transfer process. The power transfer process is controlled by a separate set of switching signals that are drawn from the power source terminals, enabling efficient and reliable wireless power transfer.
