Rapid Wireless Capacitor Charging Using a Multi-Tapped Inductively-Coupled Secondary Coil

This paper presents an inductive coupling system designed to wirelessly charge ultra-capacitors used as energy storage elements. Although ultra-capacitors offer the native ability to rapidly charge, it is shown that standard inductive coupling circuits only deliver maximal power for a specific load...
