The Technology
The resonant transformer is a centerpiece of Extremely Ingenious Engineering’s high voltage technology. This transformer converts a low-voltage DC input into a high-voltage periodic signal at frequencies up to a hundred kilohertz, essential for the resonant transformer effect. The transformer, using novel conversion circuitry can output DC or any other utilization voltage.

 How It Works
DC is input to the transformer, which is converted to a high-frequency driving signal, essential for the resonant condition to occur in the device. The high-power resonant transformer is driven at relatively high frequencies, up to a hundred kilohertz, made possible by advances in solid state power transistors. This driving signal initiates the resonant effect in the primary and secondary coils of the transformer, converting the input to a high-voltage signal at a comparatively high frequency, present on the device’s secondary coil.

The resonant transformer effect is an old technology renewed by the infusion of modern semiconductor technology. A novelty of resonant transformers is that the high voltage developed is a consequence of the resonant effect, rather than winding ratio of the coils. In fact, the early use of these devices was for the generation and transmission of radio.

Once a high voltage is developed in the transformer, the output is pulled from the secondary coil by an output coil. The output is then converted into DC and then to any other utilization power by a novel rectifier arrangement.

 Application
We envision this technology as useful to various manufacturing processes or power handling. One of the primary novelties of the device is the ability to output DC from a high-frequency power signal. The high voltage generation and electromagnetic field control technology from this device is also used in other EIE applications, notably the simultaneous transmission of power and data through the use of spatially distributed resonant transformers.
