Abstract
A feeder is disposed along a guide rail that guides an electrically powered vehicle. The electrically powered vehicle has an electric power receiving unit that accommodates the feeder. Electric power is supplied from the feeder to the electrically powered vehicle through the electric power receiving unit on a non-contact basis. The distance between the guide rail and the feeder in a straight portion of the guide rail is different from the distance between the guide rail and the feeder in a curved portion of the guide rail.
