In embodiments reconfigurable or flexible attachment between a source and a device is realized using permanent magnets or electromagnets. Magnetic material may be positioned on or around one or more of the resonator to provide for locations for attaching permanent magnets. A permanent magnet attached to or near one of a source or device or repeater resonators may be used to flexibly attach to the non-lossy magnetic material of another resonator structure. In embodiments, replacing lossy permanent magnets and/or electromagnets in even one of the resonators of a wireless power system may be advantageous to system performance.

A non-contact power feeding apparatus transmits, by at least magnetic coupling, an electric power in a non-contact manner to a power reception coil from a power transmission coil. The transmission coil is electrically connected to an alternating-current power source. The non-contact power feeding apparatus outputs an electric power to a load electrically connected to the power reception coil. The non-contact power feeding apparatus includes a coupling state estimator configured to estimate a coupling state between the power transmission coil and the power reception coil. The non-contact power feeding apparatus also includes an available output power calculator configured to calculate an available output power that can be output to the load, based on a limit value of a circuit element of a power feeding circuit including the power transmission coil and the power reception coil and on the coupling state.
