Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed electrodes and energy transmitter/receiver and peformed in vitro test as a development of the apparatus for performing the transmission of energy and information by electrostatic induction using an electrode. An electrode can be up to 2A of current to the 2cm square of aluminum foil having a thickness of 0.1mm as the electrode material was developed. For the energy transmitter circuit, the circuit 30-50W high frequency output at any frequency band up to several MHz is obtained has been completed. In the in vitro test, transmission efficiency is equal to or less than 10% at 500Ω load, however, transmission efficiency is obtained 80% at 5Ω load, the possibility has been shown.
