The road, charging electric cars on the go wireless transmission of energy, to be built in Israel

One of the main problems that arises in the path of the massive failure of users from cars with internal combustion engines and switching to electric cars is that they concern a relatively small reserve last. One of the solutions, in addition to the super powerful and cheap batteries is the technology of wireless transmission of energy. That is trying to develop an Israeli company Electroad.





Israeli engineers develop a solution that will allow you to charge electric vehicles on the go. To provide charging electric cars while driving will be a special roadway, which is able to transmit electricity wirelessly.



The developers of the company have already conducted a series of tests confirming the viability of this concept. The next stage of development of the project envisages the creation of "electrified" section of the road in tel Aviv, which will run the buses one of the city routes. In case of successful trial operation of innovative roadway technology wireless charging of electric vehicles will spread to other roads of General purpose.

The system developed Electroad, called DWPT (Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer), and one of its advantages, in addition to the immediate wireless transmission, is able to exchange energy between all the vehicles which move on this road. The application of Israeli wireless technology does not foresee any major changes in the existing infrastructure and the provision of transport equipment is not difficult.





The strip transmits the current leaf is performed using a special machine that makes trench depth of 8 inches already working road surface. Following the plotter puts the second mechanism interconnected induction coil and re-fills the trench with asphalt. For one day of work technology allows you to electrify about one kilometer road.





An induction coil is located under the road surface, provide an effective system of wireless transmission of energy at the distance of 24 cm the operation Mode of these devices is optimized in such a way that their magnetic field does not extend into the cockpit of vehicles, which makes this solution completely safe for humans. Energy to operate the system is supplied by a network of "smart" inverters-inverters, which exchange information with each other in real time.

Currently, inductive charging technology of electric cars is already tested in the laboratory Electroad 20-metre pilot stretch of road. This decision might be a viable alternative to expensive battery technology and, for example, to make public transport more accessible. According to engineers of the company, the buses without the massive battery will not only cost less than their traditional counterparts, but consume far less power due to significant weight loss. published
