Arrangement and Method for Providing a Vehicle with Electric Energy by Magnetic Induction

An apparatus for providing a vehicle with electric energy, comprising a generating device configured for generating an alternating electromagnetic field for producing an alternating electric current by magnetic induction in a corresponding receiving device, wherein the generating device comprises at least one phase line, each phase line being configured for carrying a phase of an alternating electric current,

• wherein
• the at least one phase line forms a line arrangement which extends in a longitudinal direction transversely to a flux line direction, in which magnetic flux lines of the electromagnetic field penetrate the line arrangement, so that the line arrangement comprises a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end being located at opposite ends of the line arrangement in the longitudinal direction,
• a width of the line arrangement, which width can be measured in a width direction extending transversely to the flux line direction and transversely to the longitudinal direction, gradually decreases along the extension of the line arrangement towards the first end or towards the second end.

A method of manufacturing an apparatus for providing a vehicle with electric energy, the method comprising:

• adopting a receiving device of the apparatus during operation—to receive the magnetic component of an alternating electromagnetic field and to produce an alternating electric current by magnetic induction, wherein the receiving device is equipped with at least one phase line, each phase line being adapted to carry—during operation—a phase of the alternating electric current,
• forming a line arrangement via the at least one phase line, wherein the line arrangement extends in a longitudinal direction transversely to a flux line direction, in which magnetic flux lines of the electromagnetic field penetrate the line arrangement, wherein the line arrangement comprises a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end being located at opposite ends of the line arrangement in the longitudinal direction, wherein a width of the line arrangement, which width can be measured in a width direction extending transversely to the flux line direction and transversely to the longitudinal direction, gradually decreases along the extension of the line arrangement towards the first end or towards the second end.

A method of manufacturing an apparatus for providing a vehicle with electric energy, the method comprising adapting a generating device of the apparatus—during operation—to generate an alternating electromagnetic field for producing an alternating electric current by magnetic induction in a corresponding receiving device, wherein at least one phase line is provided for the generating device, wherein each phase line is adapted to carry—during operation—a phase of an alternating electric current,

• forming a line arrangement via the at least one phase line, wherein the line arrangement extends in a longitudinal direction transversely to a flux line direction, in which—during operation—magnetic flux lines of the electromagnetic field penetrate the line arrangement, wherein the line arrangement comprises a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end being located at opposite ends of the line arrangement in the longitudinal direction,
• a width of the line arrangement, which width can be measured in a width direction extending transversely to the flux line direction and transversely to the longitudinal direction, gradually decreases along the extension of the line arrangement towards the first end or towards the second end.
