This paper proposes an optimal coil layout of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems for underwater vehicles (UVs). The power supply station adopts a multicoil arrangement with a double layer, and the UV also uses two receiving coils. The proposed WPT system for UVs has a reasonable advantage, where it does not request to adjust the relative position of coils. This paper experimentally discusses an optimal coil layout based on measurement results of a coupling coefficient. As a result, the proposed coil arrangement with the geometry rule realizes a certain power transfer under any positions and directions of UVs.
