<p>The present invention relates to a system for transmitting electrical signals and/or electrical energy via an electrically conductive medium (7). An eddy current is created when a time-variable current is applied to an electric wound coil (1, 3), in the form of a band with conductor paths extending parallel to the surface of the electrically current-carrying medium, thereby creating a magnetic field which penetrates the surface of the electrically conductive medium (7). Since the magnetic field varies with time, an electric field will be generated which is oriented at 90 degrees to the magnetic field. This electric field will generate a potential difference between an upper and lower part of the electric wound coil (1, 3). The electric field will cause a movement of electrons, thereby creating a flow between the upper and lower part of the electric wound coil (1, 3). This time-variable flow of electrons will attempt to equalize the potential difference by electrons flowing back on the opposite side of the electrically conductive medium (7), thereby creating a circulating flow between an external and an internal surface of the electrically conductive medium (7). Since a flow is created on the opposite side of the generating electric wound coil (1, 3), this flow will form a magnetic field which in turn induces a voltage in the adjacent electric wound coil (1, 3). The system is omnidirectional and acts in both directions.</p> |
