Contactless Inductive Power and Data Transfer: For use in E-Textiles

Distributing power and data around a garment is a common problem in sensor enabled e-textiles, as connecting separate electronic subsystems together using connectors and wires has proven to be unreliable and cumbersome. In this work a solution is presented that will eliminate the connectors by using two pairs of short-range wireless inductive...

Wireless Charging System for the Wireless Powerlizer

Wireless power transfer has been around for a long time. In 1899 Nikola Tesla demonstrated that it was possible to transfer power using a pair of coils. This technology has advanced to now charge a wide range of portable devices, such as phones. In this thesis, a wireless charging system is designed to be integrated into a power bank with UV-C...

Control of a resonant wireless e-bike charging converter

The Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has been introduced decades ago for low power applications, and more recently, it has been used for industrial high power applications. WPT is gaining popularity because it presents several advantages over the power transfer through cable, such as the galvanic insulation between the power source and the load,...
