Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If electromagnetic signals are transmitted over distance for wireless charging, then wireless power transmission is enabled, but signal power is attenuated proportionally to the square of the distance making transmission inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the frequency parameter of electromagnetic waves to terahertz range, which enables more efficient energy transmission over distance compared to traditional RF frequencies. The receiver device is specifically designed to resonate at terahertz frequencies, dramatically improving the efficiency of wireless power transfer and reducing energy loss during transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiver device incorporates metamaterials and superconducting materials to enhance its ability to capture and convert terahertz electromagnetic energy. These composite materials enable the receiver to efficiently absorb terahertz waves and convert them into electrical energy, thereby improving overall transmission efficiency and reducing energy loss.
2Use of energy by moving object
If directional antennas are used to target energy delivery, then power transmission efficiency is improved, but device location and orientation must be known and maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic beamforming and phase adjustment capabilities in the transmitter device to continuously track and maintain optimal energy transmission paths. The system dynamically adapts to device movement and environmental changes, eliminating the need for fixed device placement while maintaining high transmission efficiency through real-time signal optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the receiver device communicates its position and reception status back to the transmitter. This feedback enables the transmitter to adjust beam direction and power levels in real-time, maintaining efficient energy transfer without requiring the user to manually position the device in specific orientations.
3Power
If transmitted power is boosted to compensate for distance attenuation, then received signal power is sufficient, but most energy is wasted and it may be hazardous to living tissue
Solution Approach 1:
By transitioning to terahertz frequencies and implementing resonant coupling between transmitter and receiver, the system achieves much higher power transfer efficiency. This eliminates the need for excessive power boosting while ensuring sufficient received signal power, thereby reducing energy waste and minimizing potential hazards to living tissue.
Solution Approach 2:
The use of metamaterials and superconducting materials in the receiver device dramatically improves energy capture efficiency. These materials enable the receiver to effectively absorb terahertz electromagnetic energy with minimal reflection or loss, ensuring that transmitted power is efficiently converted to useful electrical energy rather than being wasted or causing harm.
4Power
If existing wireless charging systems are used, then power transfer is enabled, but security and authentication mechanisms are inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces blockchain technology as an intermediary layer between the transmitter and receiver devices. This blockchain-based authentication system verifies device identities and authorizes power transfer transactions, providing robust security and reliability without interfering with the actual power transfer capability. The system records and verifies energy transactions on an immutable ledger, ensuring trust and security in wireless power exchange.
