A wireless power transfer system for computer peripherals, comprising:
- a source magnetic resonator, integrated into a source station and connected to a power source and power and control circuitry, and
- a device magnetic resonator, integrated into a computer peripheral;
- wherein power is transferred non-radiatively from the source magnetic resonator to the device magnetic resonator, and wherein the source magnetic resonator is configured to transfer power during predefined intervals.
A wirelessly powered computer peripheral, comprising:
- a device magnetic resonator, and
- a repeater resonator,
- wherein the repeater resonator is positioned to enable the coupling to a second computer peripheral.
A wirelessly powered computer peripheral, comprising:
- a magnetic resonator,
- wherein the magnetic resonator is configurable to operate as a device resonator for capturing energy and delivering power to the computer peripheral and as a repeater resonator for enabling energy transfer to another computer peripheral from an external wireless energy source.
