(54) | Apparatus and method for transferring power from a stationary unit to a mobile unit |
(57) An apparatus and method for transferring power from a stationary unit to a mobile
unit are introduced in order to improve on the existing methods of supplying power
to appliances and mobile devices. The stationary unit is comprised of multiple magnetic and electromagnetic switches, which are activated only when in close proximity to a mobile unit comprising of a set of magnets of opposite polarity to the magnetic and electromagnetic switches in the stationary unit thus ensuring a safe and easy to use system for supplying power from the stationary unit to the mobile unit The stationary unit may be large enough to allow the connection of multiple mobile units on a single stationary unit. Each mobile unit can then adjust the voltage supplied by the stationary to fit the requirements of its own appliance or mobile device thus allowing different types of devices to connect to the same source (the stationary unit). |
