WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM

A wireless power transfer system includes a power transmission circuit that includes power transmission resonance mechanisms including power transmission coils and power transmission resonant capacitors, and a power reception circuit that includes a power reception resonance mechanism including a power reception coil that magnetically couples to the power transmission coils and a power reception resonant capacitor. The power transmission circuit includes a square wave power supply circuit including a direct-current power supply and a switching circuit, the power transmission resonance mechanisms and the power reception resonance mechanism form electromagnetic resonance coupling, and the power reception resonance mechanism acquires reception power by superposing resonance currents induced by the electromagnetic resonance coupling.
