Fri, 12/01/2023 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Seminar Title: Electrodynamic Wireless Power Transmission to High Performance Rotating Magnet Receivers
Speaker: Vernon Crasto, IMG, UF
Time: Dec 1st , 2023 @ 12:00pm
Abstract: In this seminar, the assembly, analysis, and characterization of a five-phase, rotating-magnet electrodynamic wireless power transmission (EWPT) receiver is reported. Additionally, power transfer to a constellation of multiple receivers is demonstrated, indicating the ability to additively combine multiple EWPT receivers for scalable power solutions.
