Device for providing wireless energy transfer
A system for providing wireless power transfer includes a primary antenna having a primary lens surrounding the primary antenna and a secondary antenna having a secondary lens surrounding the secondary antenna. The secondary antenna is operatively connected to power at least one sensor. A mains power source is operatively connected to power the primary antenna. The primary and secondary antennas are separated a distance apart to wirelessly transfer power from the primary antenna to the secondary antenna.
1. A device for providing wireless power transfer, comprising: a primary antenna having a first lens surrounding a first end portion thereof and a second lens surrounding a second end portion thereof and wherein the first and second lens of each of the primary and secondary antennas are comprised of an array of resonators.
2. The device of claim 1 , further including a secondary antenna having a first lens surrounding a first end portion of the secondary antenna and a second lens surround a second end portion of the secondary antenna.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the primary antenna is an electromagnetic transmitter coil and the secondary antenna is an electromagnetic receiver.
4. The device of claim 3 , further including a mains power source operatively connected to power the primary antenna, wherein the primary and secondary antennas are separated a distance apart to wirelessly transfer power from the primary antenna to the secondary antenna.
5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the first end portion and the second end portion of the primary antenna are directed towards the first end portion and second end portion of the secondary antenna.
6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the primary antenna and lens force electromagnetic energy towards the secondary antenna and lens in a manner which prevents field self-cancellation.
