High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
Induction cooktops are becoming popular; however, a limitation is that compatible cookware is required. This is a significant barrier to its adoption.
The invention integrates conductive and inductive charging in a single electric vehicle charger.
The invention discusses charging coil designs that can be utilized as a transformer for plug in EV charging, as well as inductive coils for wireless charging.
Technologies directed to an LCC based induction cooktop architecture for non-ferromagnetic pan are described.

An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.
Wireless charging systems need to operate at high frequency, at or near resonance, to maximize power transfer distance and efficiency. High voltages appear across the inductors and capacitors. The use of discrete components reduces efficiency, increases system complexity.
