Japanese true to their nature have found a cheaper and more efficient way of charging electric cares while on the road. This principal was demonstrated in the newly discovered fast charging of electric vehicles while on the road through the road. Japanese researchers have come up with a novel way of charging vehicles through electric current that can pass through 10 cms of concrete thereby achieving more enhanced energy efficiency of 80 to 90%.
The charge is transmitted to vehicle tyres which powered a light bulb affixed to the axle. The bulb requires less electricity than what a real electric car would need but it is a start to what is to come in the future. Japanese need to find a way to boost this electric supply 100 fold if it is to be of some use in electric vehicles of the future.
Japanese have offered a demo on the above system wherein these electric cars could be powered through their tyres. Scientists pass electricity through 10 cms of concrete. Researchers at the Toyohashi University of Technology transmitted electricity to a pair of tyres through a 4 inch thick concrete block at a trade show on wireless technologies held in Yokohama last week. Concrete blocks were placed under a full sixed car while 50 and 60 watts of electricity was transmitted to each of the tyres coupling to their belts and turning on a light bulb attached to prove the demonstration.
