            Abstract : 
In this paper the possibility of combining resonant magnetic coupling and resonant electrical coupling is proposed and discussed. Equivalent circuit models are used to demonstrate that efficiency can be improved quite significantly using a hybrid approach. A comparison between resonant magnetic coupling only, resonant electrical coupling only and several hybrid combinations is provided.
