Mechanically removable wireless power vehicle seat assembly

A method for wireless energy distribution to a mechanically removable vehicle seat, the method comprising:

• providing a source resonator coupled to an energy source of a vehicle, the source resonator positioned proximate to the mechanically removable vehicle seat, the source resonator generating an oscillating magnetic field with a frequency and comprising a high-conductivity material adapted and located between the source resonator and a vehicle surface to direct the oscillating magnetic field away from the vehicle surface;
• and
• receiving energy from the oscillating magnetic field of the source resonator by a receiving resonator integrated into the mechanically removable vehicle seat, the receiving resonator having a resonant frequency similar to that of the source resonator and providing power to electrical components integrated with the mechanically removable vehicle seat.
