How It Works

Safe and Efficient Energy Transfer Over Distance and Through Materials

Resonance

Stored energy oscillatesbetween two modes

Magnetic Resonator

Stored energy oscillates between magnetic (B) and electric fields (E)

Coupled Resonators

Efficient and selectiveenergy transfer can be achieved between high Qmagnetic resonators
