Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling transfer of power, from a wireless charger or power supply, to one or more receivers placed on or near the wireless charger or power supply, including powering or charging one or multiple receivers or devices having small surface areas or volumes. In accordance with an embodiment, a receiver coil can be generally shaped as a blade or thin solenoid, which receives power inductively, which is then used to power or charge one or more electronic devices. Applications include inductive or magnetic charging and power, and particularly usage in mobile, electronic, electric, lighting, or other devices, batteries, power tools, kitchen, industrial, medical or dental, or military applications, vehicles, robots, trains, and other usages.
