I'd like to transmit either 120V AC or ~10V DC through a 3cm steel plate. Based on the assumption that the steel is coated with a non-conductive material, would the easiest way to get power across the barrier be a small inductor?
I read a little bit about inductors a long time ago, but I don't remember anything now. Basically I remember that someone (telsa?) made an inductor which powered something across a room over the ambient air. I'd like to do that, only with steel in the way. What are your thoughts on wireless power transmission? Which would be the most efficient, AC or DC?
