An apparatus for use in wireless energy transfer, the apparatus comprising: a first resonator structure configured to transfer energy non-radiatively with a second resonator structure over 5 a distance D greater than a characteristic size LI, of the first resonator structure and greater than a characteristic size L2 of the second resonator structure, wherein the non-radiative energy transfer is mediated by a coupling of a resonant field evanescent tail of the first resonator structure and a resonant field evanescent tail of the second resonator structure, further comprising the second resonator structure, and further comprising a third resonator 10 structure configured to transfer energy non-radiatively with one or more of the first and second resonator structures, wherein the non-radiative energy transfer between the third resonator structure and the one or more of the first and second resonator structures is mediated by a coupling of the resonant field evanescent tail of the one or more of the first and second resonator structures and a resonant field evanescent tail of the third resonator structure. 15 (Figure 1) f-J / NI 'I 4 -4 - * Cl) ~ -, (3 |
