Abstract
Various receiver electrodes for supplying power to a load connected in a capacitive power transfer system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the receiver electrodes include a first conductive plate (212) connected to a first sphere-shaped hinge (211), wherein the first sphere-shaped hinge is coupled to a first receiver electrode (210); and a second conductive plate (222) connected to a second sphere-shaped hinge (221), wherein the second sphere-shaped hinge is coupled to a second receiver electrode (220), the second receiver electrode being connected to an inductor of the capacitive power transfer system and the first receiver electrode being connected to the load, the inductor being connected to the load to resonate the capacitive power transfer system.
