Have to wonder about the infrastructure, esp the maintenance, costsA 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.
It's an interesting idea.Typhoon wrote:PhysOrg | Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation, researchers say

Very interesting..... looks like one of those projects no one wants to spend their own money on, but someone will opt to spend other people's money on it.Enki wrote:It's an interesting idea.Typhoon wrote:PhysOrg | Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation, researchers say

Very cool. I bet my nephew would be very interested, but perhaps I shouldn't show it to him. I liked the Québécois country music.Typhoon wrote:PQVsNG4uaL8
I was wondering about the music, if it was Cajun.Azrael wrote: . . .

I suspect that the music is from Quebec, rather than Cajun country, since Transport Jacques Auger is based in Quebec. I'm certainly not the best person to ask.Typhoon wrote:I was wondering about the music, if it was Cajun.Azrael wrote: . . .

too cool! prior to wathing this I was impressed that an A-10 Warthog was able to stay airborne at what seems like 30 mph.
I didn't get to see the Antonov myself, and it only comes in here every few years (principally to ferry oil and gas equipment to other continents, in this case Africa). The current* main runway at YYC is 12,600 feet, and apparently it took the whole thing to get that pig of an aircraft airborne again.Simple Minded wrote:too cool! prior to wathing this I was impressed that an A-10 Warthog was able to stay airborne at what seems like 30 mph.
I think Antipatros and you got it right.Azrael wrote:I suspect that the music is from Quebec, rather than Cajun country, since Transport Jacques Auger is based in Quebec. I'm certainly not the best person to ask.Typhoon wrote:I was wondering about the music, if it was Cajun.Azrael wrote: . . .
