Abstract
A resonator structure for wireless power transfer includes a first piece and a second piece of magnetic material disposed adjacent to one another, a spacer disposed between the first and second pieces of magnetic material forming a gap of 1 mm or less between the first and second pieces of magnetic material, and an electrical conductor wound to form a plurality of loops. The electrical conductor is disposed on the first and second pieces of magnetic material. The resonator structure includes a thermal conductor positioned in contact with the electrical conductor and at least one of the first and second pieces of magnetic material.
