PhysOrg | Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation, researchers say
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

Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

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

In the right location..... such as a long downhill on an interstate... it could save brakepads.... and feedsome energy back to the grid or a local user.
Cost effective...... probably not now...... but if someone in power decided to make "the price of energy skyrocket....."

Re: Transport: Planes, Trains, Boats, and Autos
here ya go... mandate that big ass magnets are required on all vehicles, build steeper declines into our interstates, and capture that lost energy that otherwise goes into brake pad disintegration.

Seek not to count the future waves of Time;
But be ye satisfied that you have light
Enough to take your step and find your foothold.

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

Re: Transport: Planes, Trains, Boats, and Autos
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.
*14,000 ft. runway is in the works.
