摘要
In cases where a user wears multiple devices, power supply and management for these devices can be a significant problem. In this research, we propose utilizing a wireless power transfer technique between items of clothing, with the aim of distributing power from a single (or a few) source(s) to multiple devices. Considering the power transfer between a pair of trousers and a shirt as a first step, we investigated three models of resonators attached to fabric on the surface of the clothing. Power transmission efficiencies were measured as a function of the misalignment of the resonator coils. The results showed that the helical model achieved stable wireless power transmission, while the single and array models could achieve higher efficiencies if the transmitter and receiver coils were kept in opportune alignment.
