Abstract
A deformable inductive device includes a magnetic core formed of an elastomer material having magnetic particles dispersed in it and at least one deformable electrode. Depending on the device's configuration, the deformable element may be embedded in, attached to, or in close proximity with the magnetic core. In some embodiments, the deformable inductive device may be configured as an inductor, solenoid, or transformer and the deformable electrode is at least partially embedded in the magnetic core, for instance. In another embodiment, the deformable inductive device may be configured as part of a wireless power transfer system which includes a coil and a magnetic backplane having the magnetic core with the coil being attached to or in close proximity to the magnetic backplane.
