Abstract
An electrical appliance comprising a connection to a power source and a principle electrical load, wherein the appliance additionally comprises at least one inductive power outlet, the inductive power outlet comprising: at least one driver, connectable to the power source, the driver for providing an oscillating voltage supply; and at least one primary inductive coil connected to the driver, the primary inductive coil for inductively coupling with an external secondary inductive coil wired to a second electrical load.
Claims14
An inductive power distribution system incorporated into a generally stationary host appliance, wherein the generally stationary host appliance comprises a principal electrical load connected to a power source, said system comprising at least one inductive power outlet mounted upon the generally stationary host appliance.
A method for distributing power inductively comprising:
- providing a generally stationary host appliance comprising a principal load and having at least one inductive power outlet mounted thereupon;
- connecting said generally stationary host appliance to a power source;
- providing an inductive power receiver;
- inductively coupling said inductive power receiver to at least one said inductive power outlet;
- and
- providing an oscillating voltage to a primary inductive coil of said inductive power outlet such that a voltage is induced in a secondary inductive coil of said inductive power receiver.
