Abstract: A transmit resonator is provided. The transmit resonator comprises: two inductors; a switching network electrically connected to the inductors; a plurality of capacitive electrodes electrically connected to the switching network; a detector communicatively connected to the capacitive electrodes; and a controller communicatively connected to the switching network and the detector. The detector is configured to detect impedance. The controller is configured to control the switching network to control which electrodes are connected to the inductors based on the detected impedance. The inductors and electrodes are configured to resonate to generate an electric field.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer system is provided. The wireless power transfer system comprises a resonator comprising a capacitor. The capacitor comprises at least two active electrodes; and a passive electrode adjacent the active electrodes and configured to encompass the active electrodes to at least partially eliminate environmental influences affecting the active electrodes and to increase the overall capacitance of the system. The resonator further comprises at least one inductive coil electrically connected to the active electrodes, wherein the resonator is configured to extract power from a generated electric field via resonant electric field coupling.
