A system and method is provided for coupling a power source across a
rotation boundary. A generator converts a DC source on the stationary
side of a rotation boundary to a square-wave at a determined frequency.
The generator output connects through a transmission line and a first
transformer to a set of stator rings. A set of rotor rings form a set of
coupling capacitors with the stator rings. The rotor rings connect
through a second transformer and a transmission line to a non-linear
circuit capable of converting the square-wave to a DC voltage and current
that can power a load on the rotating side of the rotating boundary in
which the power is nearly equal to the power available from the source on
the stationary side of the rotation boundary.
