Abstract

A power transmitter is configured to wirelessly transfer power to at least one power receiver. The power transmitter includes at least one excitation circuit configured to generate a time-varying first magnetic field in response to a time-varying electric current flowing through the at least one excitation circuit. The time-varying first magnetic field has an excitation frequency. The power transmitter further includes a plurality of magnetic oscillators. Each magnetic oscillator of the plurality of magnetic oscillators has a mechanical resonant frequency substantially equal to the excitation frequency. The plurality of magnetic oscillators is configured to generate a time-varying second magnetic field in response to the first magnetic field.
