Abstract:
Electrical power is shared wirelessly among electrical power-sharing hubs in a wireless mesh network. Each electrical power-sharing hub includes one or more transmitters and receivers for wireless communications with other hubs and wireless power transfer technology to transmit or receive electrical power with other hubs. If electrical power at a respective electrical power-sharing hub is insufficient to power an electrical load on the hub, the hub wirelessly requests that a specific amount of electrical power be transmitted to it wirelessly from one or more neighboring electrical power-sharing hubs. At least one of the neighboring hubs may send a portion or all of the requested power. If the neighboring hubs do not have electrical power to share, a request for power is wirelessly transmitted to non-neighboring hubs, at least one of which may relay available electrical power wirelessly to the requesting hub via the wireless mesh network.
