Abstract
A circuit design for efficiently transferring significant levels of electrical power with non-inductive circuit elements. Power is transferred using synchronously-switched capacitive elements in such a way that both discharge from the power source and charge transferred to a load (and/or back to the power supply) are supplied as low duration, high-intensity current pulses. The synchronous power transfer alternates between connecting capacitive charge storage elements in parallel and in series so that both step-up and step-down topologies may be readily realized.
