Pass current through the concrete future road to charge the moving car

The team conducted a test on an ordinary road in Japan, showing that current can be transmitted through a 6-inch thick road surface

According to the British Daily Mail, along with the beginning of the fuel revolution, we will gradually reduce our dependence on gasoline. However, there is currently a key issue - how to charge the car while driving?

In some countries and regions, many electronic gas stations have been built along the road. A Japanese research team has proposed a new solution and successfully demonstrated how to charge a running car through 12-inch-thick concrete.

The research team of Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan used special tires to test the charging of cars while they were driving on asphalt roads. The team said that “electric vehicles on electrified roads” have not encountered technical obstacles while driving on the road.

On Friday, the team conducted a test on an ordinary road in Japan, showing that current can be transmitted through a 6-inch thick road surface. During the test, 50-60 watts of current was sent to a real tire, and a light bulb lit to show how the current passed through 6-inch-thick concrete before entering a real-sized car tire.

Professor Takashi Ohir, who heads the research, said that the concrete thickness in the test was magnified to 12 inches without problems, although this required an increase of 100 times the voltage to drive a car. He pointed out that there is no technical problem.

Takashi Ohir emphasized that the power transmission rate through concrete is 80-90%, or higher. At present, other companies are also focusing on the development of similar technologies. For example, Toyota Motor Corp. plans to add a sheet metal system to the road. (young/compilation)
