Wireless charging electric vehicles (EV) is the development trend of EV. However, the battery taken by EVs has the disadvantages of big volume, long time to recharge, and limited driving distance. In this paper, an innovative dynamic wireless charging system based on magnetic coupled resonant power transmission is presented. The transmitting coil of this charging system can selectively turn ON/OFF for charging vehicles while driving. The structures of the transmitting coil and receiving coil are researched and improved. In addition, the dispersed coupling structure named grouped periodic series spiral coupler is proposed, and its characteristics are described. A simulation of coupling coefficients at different D values is carried out. A prototype is built to experiment on the dynamic wireless charging process of EV. Meanwhile, the coil coupling and variation of transmission efficiency are analyzed. The comparison of the experiment indicated that the EV can obtain a stable charging process under 25 mm transmission distance using the improved receiving coil with R : H : D=4:5:13. Moreover, the dynamic charging process is relatively stable without an obvious fluctuation while passing the interval between two transmitting coils, and the transmission efficiency is promoted by 50%.
