US 2016/0261233 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION UTILIZING TWO-DIMENSIONAL OR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS OF MAGNETO-MECHANICAL OSCILLATORS

Abstract

An apparatus for transferring power wirelessly is provided. The apparatus comprises a plurality of magneto-mechanical oscillators. Each oscillator comprises a first base support element disposed on a substrate, a first beam connected to the first base support element, a holder connected to the first beam, and a magnetic element disposed on the holder and configured to generate a first time-varying magnetic field in response to movement of the magnetic element under the influence of a second time-varying magnetic field. Each of the oscillators may comprise a second base support element disposed on the substrate and a second beam connecting the holder to the second base support element.
