Abstract
A sphere-on-sphere chassis system is disclosed. The sphere-on-sphere chassis system may include a first hollow sphere having a first diameter and a second hollow sphere positioned inside of the first sphere to form a channel therebetween. The second hollow sphere may have a second diameter. The second diameter is less than the first diameter. The sphere-on-sphere chassis system may further include a liquid filling at least a portion of the channel. The liquid may be a conductive solution. Each of the hollow spheres include a component layer with pockets for housing electromagnets, and may house wireless energy transmission devices such as resonant inductive chargers and resonant inductive receivers. The spherical device is designed so that electromagnets may be configured to emit positive and negative electromagnetic waves inwardly and outwardly with respect to the center of each sphere to create relative movement between the inner sphere and the outer sphere.
