I guess I'm sortof close with the transformer idea, except if I sliced it down the right way, I'd get the pieces necessary for wireless transfer. Dick Cappels, that image link you wanted to show me is sadly broken. and Ron Simpson, I noticed in your answer, you marked N and S on your coils. Would I get better power transfer results if I used a magnet with north and south poles on them instead of a ferrite rod that audioguru suggests? or would that not matter much?
