Inductive power transfer design
Inductive power transfer design
(OP)
I am searching for any references to inductive power transfer. Specifically, I am looking for information on coil design, etc. for designing an inductive power transfer system (I need to transfer power across a 1 inch gap to a rotating machine, and I can't us a slip ring) If anyone has run into any references on this obscure subject please let me know...





RE: Inductive power transfer design
There are lots of books you can consult on electromechanical energy conversion. Most of these have practical applications heavily reliant upon inductive energy transfer. Books on transformer design may also help, since that is essentially what you are designing.
If all else fails, remember the science:
1. Magnetic fields degrade quickly with distance from the coils generating them (it's an inverse square law).
2. To generate current in a remote coil, the magnetic field vector must run at right angles to the wire receiving its energy.
3. Transformers typically have iron-based cores to store and align the magnetic field. If size and weight requirements allow, use these cores with your coils to increase transfer efficiency.
Enjoy.

For Linear Power tRansfer system you can check the companies sites: Http://www.vahleinc.com; Http://www.vahle.de;Http://www.wampfler.de. For rotating transformers I can design one for you. Please let me know.
Yours sincerely Ion Dava.
