Abstract
Wireless power transfer systems including wireless transmitter and receivers, which are insensitive to misalignment, are provided. A wireless power transfer system can include a first conductive loop that has cylindrical, conical, or spherical symmetry. The wireless power transfer system can further include a second conductive loop that is formed around the first conductive loop, and can also share the same type of symmetry as the first conductive loop. The wireless transfer system can be a wearable device or an implantable device.
