Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If annular power transmitting coils are used for underwater wireless power transmission, then power transmission capability is improved, but coil deformation due to water flow causes decrease in magnetic field efficiency and transmission efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-installing support members (such as struts or rigid frameworks) within the annular power transmitting coils before deployment. These support members are positioned in advance to prevent coil deformation when exposed to water flow, thereby maintaining magnetic field efficiency and ensuring reliable power transmission without compromising the power transmission capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces support members as intermediary structures between the water flow environment and the power transmitting coils. These intermediaries absorb or redistribute the mechanical stress from water flow, preventing direct deformation of the coils and maintaining their geometric integrity for efficient magnetic field generation and power transmission
