    South Korea has rolled out the world’s first road-powered electric vehicle network. The network consists of special roads that have electrical cables buried just below the surface, which wirelessly transfer energy to electric vehicles via magnetic resonance. Road-powered electric vehicles are exciting because they only require small batteries, significantly reducing their overall weight and thus their energy consumption. There’s also the small fact that, with an electrified roadway, you never have to plug your vehicle in to recharge it, removing most of the risk and range anxiety associated with electric vehicles (EVs).

    Highly resonant wireless transmission has a great potential. Wide spread use of this may have adverse implications to various medical devices on, in and outside the body. I trust that all such issues will be addressed properly.

    Resonance is the role player when it comes to wireless transfer pf power

    With many possibilities of creating A tesla cell in case of slight failure Is this tech rally that reliable sir

    Sometimes in the march of technology, consequential issues get bypassed. ATleast in the case of domestic or consumer electronics, there are regulations that control EMI and such issues that may affect things like implanted pacemakers or other devices. A wind farm in US has been linked to some neurological problems for people nearby because of low frequency sound waves from the blades at certain wind speeds.

    These are concerns we should address before large scale application of such technologies.
    Yesterday there was an article on how sound and light pollution is affecting not only bird life but animal life as well in Bangalore city.

    On the other hand thousands of metres of electric cables should be deployed.Do you think it is a economical and ecofriendly process?

    There are thousands of kilometers of railway tracks that have paid for themselves for more than a century.

    At least the emissions are confined to the electricity generating stations, where they can be controlled and not all over.

    I want to know whether laying roads are costly or deploying cables.I agree to the pollution control criteria but we want the cheap and best model.While all auto industry giants are geared up for the ZEV(Zeroemission vehicle) what should be the apt fuel do you think sir #-Link-Snipped-#.

    I apologies for applying my destructive mind,

    what will happen if the high voltage electrical cables gets a cut, due to road slide or any other reason. It will be life threatening, right?

    I apologies for applying my destructive mind,
    Shall we say just applying. Destructive or otherwise is done by other minds. That is true of all existing power distribution buried cables. The circuit will have to have protection devices. Of course, one will see a long line of stalled vehicles right in the middle of the road till the fault is rectified. (At a conservative estimate of one week in rest of India and two or three in Kerala and W.Bengal to sort out which union has to do the work.)

    what should be the apt fuel
    If the magnetic resonance is applied to high traffic density roads and a hydrogen fuel is used for generating power, much of the emissions will be reduced. Since all vehicles cannot have magnetic resonance, if new vehicles can be designed with on board hydrogen fuel cells further control of emissions is possible.

    Well this is one tech whose side effects can't be predicted in test scenarios If this tech has to be truly understood a long term research is the need of the hour

    That much time is not available we need solutions to reduce emissions

    There are two different issues here. While the mag resonance can take its time, hydrogen fuel cell can be looked atimmediately.
