When you say this: "I've searched around on this website, and noticed that almost all of the instructables on here with wireless power seem to lack a proper explanation about how to build one; Or, when they did build one, they used an inefficient method of doing so!"
Then your step 2 lacks explanation on how to construct it, at least when its on instrucables. I don't think "To build it, just follow the schematic as shown." is quite enough, even with the few advices following.
It would be nice of you to attributes credits to Vladmiro Mazilli for the ZVS circuit.
Its not bad at all, but there is room for improvement :)

When I said that, I meant, most instructables are just showing off something that someone made, using 555 timers, or some other PWM device. No resonant tank circuit, just square waves thrown off. (lotsa harmonics) No schematic, or anything, just, showing it off.
I did add credits to Vladmiro at the end of the instructable.
I wasn't sure if I should add step by step (I mean, really step by step) on how to solder the entire thing together.

Wait that's your instructable?? I didn't check the author haha, it was one of the featured ones in the email I got so I favorited it because it's really cool! I think we're going to build it in our robotics club later this year. (I voted and rated)

If you guys know any places that would find this interesting, like Hackaday, could you please submit it? I already tried to hackaday, and I think my description may have been too vague.

I made an instructable worth something.
