Estimating the term…
An internal combustion engine with electronic components controlled from a central unit, where electrical leads as conductive connection for power transmission and data transmission between the electronic components of the internal combustion engine are avoided completely wherever possible. The electronic components to be controlled from a central unit are arranged, together with the central unit, on the engine in a space that is fully enclosed by a metal housing part, power is supplied to at least some of the electronic components by high frequency electromagnetic waves generated and radiated without cables by a high frequency source arranged in the space enclosed by the metal housing part and the components to be supplied with power by the radiated electromagnetic waves from the high frequency source each have at least one receiving device for receiving the electromagnetic waves.
Internal combustion engine with electronic components controlled from a central unit (2) and arranged together with the central unit (2) on the engine in a space that is enclosed by a metal housing part of the internal combustion engine, wherein power to at least some of the electronic components is transmitted without cables by high-frequency electromagnetic waves generated and radiated by a high-frequency source arranged in the space that is fully enclosed by the metal housing part of the internal combustion engine, and wherein the electronic components to be supplied with power by the high-frequency source each have at least one receiving device for receiving the electromagnetic waves.
