Abstract:
This publication presents an outline of the strategies and steps involved in designing a pickup for 2D inductive power transfer platform with selectively powered hexagonal coils. The design of the pickup coil takes advantage of the horizontal component of the magnetic field produced by the platform and is intended to transfer power from the poorly uniform magnetic field produced by the single layer platform. 3D simulations of pickup coils are made and verified using the finite element method software JMAG.
