RESONANT ROTATING TRANSFORMER

A resonant rotating transformer design increases efficiency while maintaining the small dimensions of devices in which the transformer is used. The inventive concept lacks a ferrite or other metal core and instead uses at least two secondary winding members positioned near a primary winding member on a non-magnetic base. The lack of a ferrite core increases the overall lifespan and efficiency of the resonant rotating transformer while permitting the resonant rotating transformer's small dimensions of substantially under 100 mm, as well as resistance to stress and vibrational loads. The resonant rotating transformer is optimized for holographic fan displays but is useful for other electronic devices. Variations of sequential and parallel alignment for elements of the at least two secondary winding members, as well as various winding arrangements, enable changes of properties of the resonant rotating transformer.
