Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation, Stanford researchers say

Stanford researchers have designed a new technology that could lead to wireless charging of electric vehicles while they cruise down the highway.

A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they cruise down the road. Read more...
