Although Nikola Tesla proposed the wireless power transmission concept over 100 years ago, wireless power is only now a new and rapidly growing market. The use of near-field coupling for wireless power transmission has increased dramatically; significant steps have been taken to improve safety and efficiency and demand for wireless power and data transmission has increased across technology markets. The potential of this technology is limited, however, due to the significant drop-off with distance of near-field coupling. We have solved this problem by combining wireless power techniques with the technique of single conductor power transmission using special single ended coil resonators. Our new technology transfers power and data from a wireless transmitter through metallic structures with efficiencies as high as 85%. While most power transmission technologies suffer from the presence of metal, ours uses it to enhance the delivery of both communication and power. This novel technology has significant commercial potential to create the required infrastructure for Internet of Things in many sectors, such as consumer electronics, wearable sensors, military, health, home automation (smart homes) as well as oil and gas. The objective of this proposal is to advance the technology to the stage that can be applied to commercial products. The proposed technology has the potential to create tens of high-paid, high-tech jobs in the province of Alberta. This is critical as the province of Alberta attempts to diversify its economy so that it remains robust through fluctuations in the price of oil.

尽管尼古拉·特斯拉在100多年前就提出了无线电力传输的概念，但无线电力现在才是一个新的快速增长的市场。近场耦合在无线电力传输中的应用已经大幅增加;已经采取了重要措施来提高安全性和效率，并且在整个技术市场中对无线电力和数据传输的需求也有所增加。然而，由于近场耦合随距离的显著下降，这种技术的潜力是有限的。我们已经通过将无线电力技术与使用特殊的单端线圈谐振器的单导体电力传输技术相结合来解决这个问题。我们的新技术通过金属结构从无线发射器传输电力和数据，效率高达85%。虽然大多数电力传输技术都受到金属存在的影响，但我们使用它来增强通信和电力的传输。这项新技术具有巨大的商业潜力，可以为许多领域的物联网创建所需的基础设施，例如消费电子产品，可穿戴传感器，军事，健康，家庭自动化（智能家居）以及石油和天然气。该提案的目的是将技术推进到可应用于商业产品的阶段。这项拟议中的技术有可能在阿尔伯塔省创造数十个高薪、高科技的工作岗位。这一点至关重要，因为阿尔伯塔省试图使其经济多样化，以便在石油价格波动的情况下保持强劲。
