Wireless charging has failed to take off because tech companies have been focusing on magnetic fields, instead of electric ones, Afridi told Insider. Alternating magnetic fields require bulky, expensive hardware and use more energy than they provides.
"They thought it was not feasible because they did not think of going to the high level of frequencies that I was thinking of," Afridi said."But, that has always been my area of research. It is really my passion to go to very high frequencies and push the technology to its highest potential frequency.
Waiting for the day we can just drive and the road itself powers the car 🤯
Germany electric car and 60% US states marginal emissions = 550g CO2/kWh 550 x 0.2 kWh x km = 110g CO2. petrol car = 120g CO2. car production: +9tons CO2. battery = +5tons CO2. another battery after 10-12 years: +5t CO2. does this really help to reduce CO2?
New? I’ve been reading about wireless car charging prototypes by other companies years ago. I think “could” should be replaced with “will”; this infrastructure will be critical to produce EV’s with small batteries and eliminate range limitations. Investors should buy copper.
🧢 Not in my lifetime lol this is minority report science fiction
Where would we get all the electricity ?
