By using the magnetic field generated by the WPT system to transfer torque and power to the receiving coil at the same time, applications that previously used power from the battery can be operated without a battery. The proposed method uses a receiving coil with magnetic material as a motor, and can generate torque in a desired direction using the magnetic field from the transmitting coil. The WPT system was analyzed using a topology that generates a constant current for stable torque generation. In addition, a method for detecting the position of the receiving coil without using additional power was proposed. Through simulations and experiments, it was confirmed that WTT and WPT were possible at the same time, and in particular, it was confirmed that WTT was stably possible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21238150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]],"date-time":"2021-12-06T22:18:42Z","timestamp":1638829122000},"page":"8150","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Wireless Torque and Power Transfer Using Multiple Coils with LCC-S Topology for Implantable Medical Drug Pump"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5186-5395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaewon","family":"Rhee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1678-137X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yujun","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1717-5216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seongho","family":"Woo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3203-0445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changmin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9009-6928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongwook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automotive Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5024-2441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jangyong","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4156-3988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haerim","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0771-7050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seungyoung","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Cho Chun Shik Graduate School of Green Transportation, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34051, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1044","DOI":"10.1109\/TIE.2018.2835378","article-title":"Wireless power transfer\u2014An overview","volume":"66","author":"Zhang","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
