Abstract
Embodiments of the subject invention pertain to a method and apparatus for contactless power transfer. A specific embodiment relates to an impedance transformation network, a new class of load network for application to a contactless power system. Embodiments of the impedance transformation network enable a contactless power system to operate without encountering the common problems of: 1) over-voltage and/or under-voltage conditions; 2) over-power and/or under-power conditions; 3) power oscillations; and 4) high heat dissipation.
