Power delivery for biomedical implants is a major consideration in their design for both measurement and stimulation.#R##N#When performed by a wireless technique, transmission efficiency is critically important not only because of the costs associated#R##N#with any losses but also because of the nature of those losses, for example, excessive heat can be uncomfortable for the individual#R##N#involved. In this study, a method and means of wireless power transmission suitable for biomedical implants are both discussed#R##N#and experimentally evaluated. The procedure initiated is comparable in size and simplicity to those methods already employed;#R##N#however, some of Tesla’s fundamental ideas have been incorporated in order to obtain a significant improvement in efficiency.#R##N#This study contains a theoretical basis for the approach taken; however, the emphasis here is on practical experimental analysis.
