Hi,
I am working on a project for wireless charging. I am trying to create a 3 coil array, but the inside coil is using the turns of outer coils also. From the design itself, there are multiple points where the coil can get shorted from because there seems to always be a shorter path. The design itself is hard to describe other than that, but what I am trying to do is only use 1 coil at a time. To do this, the other 2 coils need to see some type of resistance that is higher than the coil I am trying to use. I thought about using TRIACs or optocouplers at those points (there are about 28 points) to create opens. I can give more info if needed, but I am looking for some ideas to create opens or to see higher resistance at certain points. I am open to mechanical, electrical, or any other ideas.
Thanks.
