Receiver Circuit: Full Bridge and Boost

Ideal Control System • Using an ATmega328p chip to handle the control system Process • Generate K values beforehand based on circuit values • Read the secondary sides current and voltage via two ADC reads • Duty cycle is then adjusted to achieve Voltage Characteristics maximum efficiency

Actual Control System Process • ATmega328p changes the duty cycle • Examine the voltage change • Adjust the duty cycle accordingly for set voltage Reasons we used this system • Changed for simplicity

Testing Setup • Modeled in SOLIDWORKS • Precision alignment of coils for test • Increased coil turns and outer diameter • Corrosion resistant materials ▫ Nylon threaded rod, 3d printed plastic • Non magnetic at coil interface
