Wireless Charging for electric cars

AI Thread Summary
Wireless charging for electric cars utilizes electromagnetic fields for energy transfer, but practical implementation remains a challenge. The Wireless Power Consortium provides valuable resources on wireless power transmission, though specifics for automotive applications are less clear. The concept of charging vehicles while in motion is intriguing, with claims of up to 90% efficiency, but details on the mechanism are scarce. The discussion highlights a need for more comprehensive resources and understanding of the technology's application in electric vehicles. Overall, the feasibility of wireless charging for cars, especially while driving, is still under exploration.

Hi guys,
I am a newbie here and need help to start my project !
I am studying mechatronics engineering and I plan to make a wireless charging system for electric cars. I know that it uses electromagnetic field for transfering energy, but I can't get enough resources to start my project.
Maybe there is one of you that know this well and care to describe it to me.
Any answer would be appreciated !

Thanks ! :smile:

PS : Sorry if there was already another similar topic !
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
cool link !
It describes the process behind wireless power transmission very well..

But is it different if we want to apply the mechanism for electric cars ?
Because what I'm thinking is to charge the car while it's moving on the road.
I found this link, but it doesn't describe the process well :

And this is the video ( in German )

In the description they said that they could achieve about 90% efficiency.
I wonder if it's possible !

Any idea how this mechanism work for electric cars ?

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
