Abstract: A system for collection of rainwater in the open ocean may include: (a) one or more ocean-going vessels, wherein each ocean-going vessel is configured for collection and storage of rainwater, wherein each ocean-going vessel is configured to drift with surface ocean currents in order to navigate to one or more delivery locations, wherein each delivery location is on or near to a land mass; and (b) one or more delivery stations located at the one or more delivery locations, wherein each delivery station is configured to receive stored rainwater from one or more of the ocean-going vessels.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a solar panel system including solar cells and an inverter configured to receive electrical energy generated by solar cells and to convert the electrical energy to an electrical signal having an oscillation frequency. The system also include a transmit resonator coupled to the inverter and configured to resonate at the oscillation frequency. Moreover, the transmit resonator may be coupled via a wireless resonant coupling link to a receive resonator that is also configured to resonate at the oscillation frequency. Further, the system may also include a controller configured to determine for the system a mode of operation from among the following modes: (i) a common mode, (ii) a differential mode, and (iii) an inductive mode. And the controller is then configured to instruct the transmit resonator to provide via the wireless resonant coupling link electrical power according to the determined mode of operation.
