摘要: Disclosed is an exemplary guided surface waveguide probe configured to launch a guided surface wave along a surface of a lossy conducting medium. In one embodiment, the guided surface waveguide probe comprises a charge terminal elevated to a height above the lossy conducting medium; a support structure that supports the charge terminal; at least one section of internal coil that is supported within the support structure and is coupled to an excitation source; a conductive tube conductively coupled to the at least one section of internal coil at a bottom end, and a plurality of coupling conductors that extend radially away from a top of the conductive tube to a plurality of points located on an inner surface of the charge terminal.

摘要: Various embodiments for heat management around a phase delay coil in a probe are described. A guided surface waveguide probe may be at least partially housed or enclosed in a structure and configured to generate electrical energy in the form of a guided surface wave traveling along a terrestrial medium, where the guided surface waveguide probe comprises at least one electromagnetic coil encapsulated by an exterior of the structure. A cooling device may be provided and configured to manage heat in the structure by providing cold air between the at least one electromagnetic coil and the exterior of the structure.

摘要: A guided surface waveguide probe structure is described. In one example, the guided surface waveguide probe structure includes a charge terminal elevated to a first height above a lossy conducting medium and a phasing coil elevated to a second height above the lossy conducting medium, wherein the first height is larger than the second height. The structure further includes a non-conductive support structure to support the phasing coil and the charge terminal. The non-conductive support structure includes a truss frame secured to and supported over a substructure, and the truss frame supports the phasing coil at the second height above the lossy conducting medium. The non-conductive support structure also includes a charge terminal truss extension supported by the truss frame, and the charge terminal truss extension supports the charge terminal at the first height above the lossy conducting medium.

摘要: Disclosed is a guided surface waveguide probe with a charge terminal that is elevated over a lossy conducting medium. A primary coil can be coupled to an excitation source within a substructure. A secondary coil can provide a voltage to the charge terminal with a phase delay (Φ) that matches a wave tilt angle (Ψ) associated with a complex Brewster angle of incidence (θi,B) associated with the lossy conducting medium. The primary coil can be configured to inductively couple to the secondary coil.

The structure further includes a non-conductive support structure to support the phasing coil and the charge terminal. The non-conductive support structure includes a truss frame that supports the phasing coil at the second height above the lossy conducting medium and supports the charge terminal at the first height above the lossy conducting medium. The structure further includes a substructure bunker constructed in the lossy conducting medium. The substructure bunker can include foundational walls, a grounding grid formed in a foundational seal slab, and a covering support slab at a ground surface elevation of the lossy conducting medium, the covering support slab supporting the non-conductive support structure.
