Abstract

Electromagnetic energy transfer is facilitated. In accordance with an example embodiment, a first resonator transmits electromagnetic energy using an electromagnetic wave, based on frequency matching and alignment of an electromagnetic field with a second resonator within a distance of one wavelength of the electromagnetic wave from the first resonator. An electromagnetic energy reflector adjacent the first resonator redirects reflected portions of the electromagnetic wave back towards the first resonator.
