Patent attributes
A transformer system is provided that includes an ensemble of four magnetically coupled coils having fixed spacing geometry. The ensemble of four magnetically coupled coils includes a load coil, a primary resonant coil, a drive coil and a secondary resonant coil. All coils are coupled in the transformer system, but the first resonant coil is highly coupled with the drive coil so that the resonant coil can receive energy from the drive coil and the second resonant coil is highly coupled to the load coil so that the load coil can extract energy efficiently from the second resonant coil. Additionally, the primary resonant coil may be at least partially nested coaxially inside the drive coil and/or the secondary resonant coil may be at least partially nested coaxially inside the load coil.
