Communication device, information processing method, and storage medium

A resonance coil includes plural unit coils where directions of magnetic fields which are formed by flowing of electric current are the same, in which the plural unit coils are arranged around a coil center line, and when the resonance coil is seen in a direction of the coil center line, the coil wire that forms the resonance coil is formed so as not to be overlapped.

Resonance coil, electric power transmission device, electric power receiving device, and electric power transmission system

A power transmission system has an AC power source and a high-frequency power driver that make up a high-frequency power source, and a primary self-resonant coil and a secondary self-resonant coil. The secondary self-resonant coil is magnetically coupled, by magnetic field resonance, to the primary self-resonant coil, and receives as a result high-frequency power from the primary self-resonant coil. The coils of the primary self-resonant coil and the secondary self-resonant coil resonate in an even mode when high-frequency power is transmitted from the primary self-resonant coil to the secondary self-resonant coil. Specifically, the primary self-resonant coil and the secondary self-resonant coil resonate in a state where currents in mutually opposite directions flow in the two coils.
