Description
Summary:This report aims to determine the feasibility of using wireless power transmission (WPT) on air-to-air and ship-to-ship fuel-charging. With the increasing popularity of WPT in recent decades, more papers are coming out with ways of implementing WPT into our daily lives. However, many of these research are for low-power applications and not many for high-power. Currently, only one project in New Zealand has a commercially viable high-power application, which would be discussed later. The report examines the current methods of refuelling out at sea and in the air, the basics of WPT, the different types of antennas that are commonly used for WPT, and the design specifications and simulation of the antenna using CST Microwave Studio.
