What a waste of resources. These professors are out to lunch. This “research” will result in a paper where the authors conclude the technology is viable despite the insane infrastructure economics and poor charge efficiency.
Not enough energy to charge. You would think they would have both a hub generator and solar roof but would be still too expensive for the average person driving to work and back with small paychecks!
There’s already companies that can do this funded, in market with all the OEM POCs and partnerships. They’ve obviously decided to focus on opportunistic high power wireless charging at docking stations, drop offs, bus stops en route, taxi stands etc for an array of reasons ranging from infrastructure costs to practicality. Momentum Dynamics could literally roll this out tomorrow but they clearly know where the trends and market is heading
Those wheels turning could generate power just like a windmill does without magnetized pavement. It's called an alternator in a gas powered vehicle. A little disappointed.
ok, i'm not a smart man but i've been thinking that for years. Even if not very efficient, why not gain 1-20% of your use for the morning? Add solar panels to the roof and get another 10-20% while you are parked at work?
@@joemac4705 The main issues are getting the vehicle rolling will consume energy at startup. The axel's could work like turbines, second is the weight of the vehicle. Less weight less energy to propel. Our current vehicles are around say 2,500 lbs. Accidents with the heavy vehicles on the road today would be like running into a tank. The faster it would go the more energy it would store. It could be a combination of solar but best if it was designed to consume less energy all the way around and that would require less toy's. A radio and ac for example. Just think, never sitting waiting for a pump!
I’ve seen technology where it’s in bedded into the car as you drive the EV vehicle it charges regenerative batteries so pretty much you can drive forever and never run out of energy
Definition of inefficient energy use, Will never happen until we have nuclear powering most of the grid
The invention will go bust. Go in theory, but not practical to implement onto exiting infrastructures.
Uhhh potholes?

This is why I wouldn't buy an EV today because the technology is changing so quickly
Is easier to just have mini electric generators built into the drive shaft of the EV 😂😂😂😂
why not use an air motor, because air is free !😜
Some warehouse already have this thing installed
Maybe for road tests see if they can get a track owner that hosts Formula-E to let them repave the track with it.
It's not practical. Why is it you design a magnetic motor that attaches in the hub of the tire.

To drive on those roads would cost more than gas per gallon of a traditional car so people will still be broke! No winners.
Lol. Just a electric rail under the road.
Just cut out the ineffecient middleman.
Just need to build and use rail and trains.
What nonsense all because of some stupid federal government grant!
lol all great until you get these huge construction trucks making the roads crack

Might this also be a solution to icy roads in the winter time being that the technology produces heat ? 🤔 GK Harvard
Was thinking the same thing! Game changer

more people getting electrocuted by the sidewalk?
They are magnet panels, not electricity.
Such foolish people . .
Sounds like a good idea

Wow! What a great idea. If the technology grows enough, EV cars will be totally different and powerful.
