## Abstract

The wireless power transmission system includes a wireless transmitter and wireless receiver for transmission of power. The wireless transmitter includes a DC power supply between 6V and 12V, which may be supplied by a lead-acid battery, or other source. A flat coil defines a radiator, and at least one capacitor parallel to the coil defines a tank circuit. Two banks of MOSFET amplifiers are disposed between the power supply and the tank circuit, each bank having parallel MOSFETS for greater current and power. Two diodes alternately switch the banks on and off. The wireless transmitter generates electromagnetic waves to a wireless receiver having a flat coil or loop inductor to receive the transmission of power, the receiver having a half-wave rectifier and a Zener diode to convert the received power to DC and regulate the voltage for charging a user device, such as a cell phone or other electronic device.
