Abstract:
In this paper is proposed a new PCB coreless planar circular spiral inductor coils-based transcutaneous energy transfer method for use in implantable biomedical devices. Firstly, the main factor, coupling coefficient k between transmitting and receiving coils, which affected the efficiency of the energy transfer, was determined by setting up the circuit model of transcutaneous energy transfer. Then, the coupling coefficient was analyzed and calculated by using the method of equivalent circular filaments. Finally, experiments were carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...
