Going Radio - Will Recharge EVs on the Move
Technically speaking, electric vehicles that are juicing on the fly is not all that.
More than a century past, high power electromagnetic energy transport was examined by Nikola Tesla without cables.
The response is that Nikola's wireless theory is not quite prepared for electric car use. The scientific principle nikola used, inductive coupling, uses the magnetic field encompassing a primary coil to generate an electric current within an adjoining secondary coil without physical contact between both. This pads capable of recharging little appliances including toothbrushes to notebooks, and works good in transformers, AC motors.
Factoring in an additional principle, magnetic resonance, enables inductive coupling. The magnetic fields are being configured by the key linking both coils to work on a common frequency that is natural. A charging system thus ordered has kept 30 electrical buses running in Turin and Genoa, Italy, for over a decade. 10 is restored by coils to 15 percent of the charge of the bus battery during each stop. The German manufacturing company, Conductix Wampfler, of the system maintains a 95-percent energy-transport efficiency, no weather-related problems, and longer battery life attributable to the regular charging cycles. And the bus floors are insulated from intruding with pacemakers and other electronic devices to keep the magnetic fields. Utah State University has the same system under development with seed capital.
LIKE BUT SPEED 2, WITH A BUS
If the rate of the electric buses of KAIST falls below 50 miles per hour, they will not burst, but they do not need to come to a stop only to top off their charge. Here's how the on the go bus of the institute.
These wireless mark progress toward the ultimate aim: as how roll down the road recharging EVs. Two electric buses work on a 15-mile public transit path with recharging electricity provided by strips buried under 5. Energizing the strips in sync with power consumption is minimized by bus motions. KAIST expects in 2013 to expand its system.
Smaller, more affordable, and lighter batteries would suffice. Automatic toll bill could cover both the underlying infrastructure and the price of the electricity used up.
