Induction charging for small vessels

Induction charging block and charge receive coil block for small vehicles.

Only to be useful for small drones and light weight vessels.

There would be a maximum charge rate regardless of excess power.


Useful to charge 1 medium battery or equivalent in small batteries.

Can limit spamming of blocks by needing a large charging zone with no overlap.

Multiple receiving coils would divide the charge available, giving no net gain on a single charging zone.

One receiving coil is paired with one charging coil.

It would be good for drones with docking issues.

What is the power consumption of an unlocked magnetic plate in autolock mode – or in special transmitter-receiver mode?

10% of this power consumption at a distance of half a meter would be appropriate as a contactless charging source...

A locked magnetic plate does not transmit anything, of course.


The receiver could also be a magnetic plate. The received power would be proportional to the size of the plate - a plate smaller than the transmitting plate would receive only a proportional part of the power. A larger plate... More receivers... You cannot receive more than is transmitted.
